Updated s4 to small 4.3 update but what was the update for?

I've got my AT&T updater frozen, so I'm on the sidelines but curious about this mysterious second mini-update.

Does your software still say MK2?
Did anything change in the baseband, kernel or build number?
(Attached is mine - based on original at&t 4.3 update with no 2nd update).
