What's new in the update?
According to the changelog, there are some improvements in the OnePlus launcher and app drawer including improved search tags and a "New installs" category in the drawer. Additionally, it also brings an updated app list and adds the ability to scrub AAC audio files. The camera has also been optimized allowing for faster switching between the front and rear cameras.
How to update
Stable ROM will be available via OTA update
Users of both the devices, currently running the latest beta, will automatically get the stable ROM via an over-the-air update. However, those who are not running the beta version will need to flash the beta built onto the handset. Hence, a back up should be taken given a full data wipe will be required before updating from stable to this open beta.
