UPDATE: I have been requested to remove the image from Martin Wagner who posted the Olympus 40-150mm f/2.8 PRO lens and 1.4x teleconverter pictures apparently without Olympus approval. Curious though that Olympus Australia itself posted an image of the lens yet. Sounds like there is a communication problem within Olympus :)

Another trusted source shared more tidbits about the E-M1 2.0 firmware upgrade:

1. Olympus Capture: software tethering, you can do almost anything from your PC.
2. 2 new art filters : vintage and partial color
3. Faster EVF response 16ms (improved from 29ms)
4. Total 16 improvements.
5. Keystone feature: The good news, It works in liveview and you can use the 2 control dials to manipulate vertical and horizontal axis separately. Bad news, it doesn’t work in retouch mode and you can manipulate only 1 axis on a single image.
