Old Nexus 7 received 4.2.1 update

It was days ago my old Nexus 7 got update of 4.2.1, the latest version of Android Jelly Bean.
So now I am checking what is new in Jelly Bean 4.2.1.

First look at the home screen. From the top of the layout, the notifications are on the left the notification bar, and on the right side there is the status bar, user can pull the bar down and check the details.

As always, the voice enabled Google search is on top of the home screen, user can tap on the voice search icon to start voice search. Looks like it would take the speech engine to learn your accents, and after that, the returned results are more accurate.

The application tray at the bottom of the home screen do not change at all, but in the Android site, it says the application tray is a new feature. Am I getting it wrong?

OK, now I see the several more Wallpapers than I used to have with Jelly Bean 4.1, and I can also use the "Day Dream" to display content.

What I really like in this update are new features in developer options, specifically it enable OpenGL traces and simulation of 2nd display.
