very strange list of fixes...

This firmware update (Version 1.0.8) incorporates the following improvements and fixes.

Fixes a phenomenon in which Image Stabilization operation emits a sound when certain buttons are pressed, with the EF-S 55-250mm f/4-5.6 IS lens attached to the camera.
Fixes a phenomenon in which the Image Stabilization operation emits a sound from the lens when IS lenses are attached to the camera.
Fixes a phenomenon in which a part of the image looks unnatural when reviewed on the LCD.
Corrects errors in the Spanish and Norwegian menu screens.

Thanks Gresch...

But fortunately, don't think I've noticed the IS noise on any of my bodies or lenses.. I'll have to pay attention next time I'm shooting long lens.

It supposedly improves image viewing on the rear lcd as well. I'm going to upgrade tomorrow, too tired to do it tonight...

Great. Let us know how it turns out. I'm not in any mood to upgrade mine either.
