MS50010i & MS50012b source diffs for the UltraGeeks

[Whyzor]

For giggles & kicks, I downloaded the 2 source code versions from LG's Open Source website:

https://www.lg.com/global/support/opensource/opensourceList?types=ALL&search=ms500

Extracted them on a linux system, and ran a recursive diff on all the files.

And the really interesting content diffs are longer, so use this pastebin link to see. The '+' lines are new in 12b, '-' lines are removed from 10i.

I haven't dug deep into it much, but feel free to comment on interesting things you see. Thanks to Open Source licensing and LG for releasing this so quickly.

Great thanks. It will be helpful if someone can explain the differences in lay words.

Im no expert but looking from the diffs they doesn't really seem much kernel improvements,filesystems improvements and webkit(browser) improvements
