It shows on the support page that there is an update to 1.4.2 but it doesn't really say what is in the update...does anybody know? or care to venture a guess?

I don't know but I'd better go block OTA or I'll likely lose my root privileges.

Probably just a bugfix patch, no noticible changes (though it feels a little faster, though that could be because I hadn't turned it off in a few weeks).

It may be, but looking at the download size, it would have to be one heck of a bug fix......269 megabytes. Will report results

If you use your Wifi connection a lot the upgrade will eventually target your device. May take a few days to several weeks. If you would like to "get it now" here is one way:
1. Sign in to your B&N Account
2. In the Digital Management box select "My Nook"
3. Place your cursor over the Icon of your device and a dialog box will open. Select "support site"
4. Roll down past the Nook advertisement, and reviews. Near the bottom of the page select "Nook Tablet"
5. On the page now open near the left hand side is a box in which one selection is "Software Update"
Click on it and follow the directions. Not hard just a lot of steps.

Downloading the update thanks j-andersonjma's instructions!
Glad to see that B&N is feeding us an update (no matter how small). At this point, anything is a blessing and I'm glad they didn't box a tablet and completely forget!

I just opened the native e-mail App and allowed it to download the messages from the server. I then deleted them all and exited the App. When I opened the e-mail App again it queried the server but did not download any of the messages that had already been downloaded. I think they may have "fixed" one big complaint some users have expressed.
I use my Yahoo e-mail mostly so was simply trying the updated native App to see what changes had been made.

Well, that not quite the same experience I had with it. Mine still kept coming back the same as they always did yesterday after I loaded the new version. So far today though, after I once again deleted all the email I didn't want to see on the nook, they have not returned... yet.

Has anyone tried to set up an Exchange e-mail account with the revised e-mail app? The last time I checked, there were no Exchange mail options in the B&N app store.

There is an email app that can talk to Exchange, but it's not described well in the app store. Mark OB1 and I think FT know which one it is, hopefully someone will identify it.
I don't use the BN email app so I wasn't interested in updating; I did grab the file, pull the build.prop and the other prop files (local.prop.acclaim, local.prop.elation) and copy them into the /system directory on my rooted NT. On the NC, updating the build.prop file will keep you from getting an OTA update. I'm rooted and actually like being able to hear the audio and don't have an interest in reinstalling and re-rooting so I'm hopeful that this will work on the NT as well (AFAIK, various methods for trying to block updates on the NT are not that successful; I can't say which actually work.)
One thing I just noticed in Dean's diff output is that the update includes an update for Netflix. I know that a few people have reported Netflix issues and many have seen Netflix offer to update itself.
An interesting design choice in the NT is that Netflix is in /system, so the only way to officially update it is via a BN OS update. I'm going to see about blowing in the more-recent Netflix update by itself now that I've seen that it is available.
One thing that's actually good about that design is that it means BN is going to have to do fairly frequent OS updates for the NT, so incremental fixes may come faster for the NT than they did for the NC.
OK, so pushing in Netflix manually works, but you do also need to go to the Dalvik cache and get rid of
/dalvik-cache/system@app@netflix-1.5.0-137-390-rel
That version looks like the one that will be referenced by default in a manually updated system, and on launch, even with the new netflix.apk in /system/app, netflix asks you about whether you'd like to update. After deleting that file from the dalvik cache, I'm no longer prompted to update at launch.

Huh? I had it rooted within four hours of the announcement yesterday, using the exact same procedure that I previously posted on the XDA-devs site for v1.4.1.
I also updated my posted procedure on the XDA-devs site yesterday to reflect the above fact.
I love the Internet; there is so much useful, accurate information out there (not blaming you).
Edit: It looks like the above story has been pulled? I couldn't find it.

Nook Touch (two): B&N 1.2.1 rooted; Nook 1stEd/3G (two): B&N 1.7.0 rooted.
