Looking for details on firmware LHF003C for the SSD 545s

[FWest1]

Hello,

The Intel SSD Toolbox v 3.5.3 reports that a new firmware version (LHF003C) is available for my SSD 545s.

Before deciding to update, I'd like to view the release notes, but they seem not available (yet)?

Is LHF003C a necessary update for the SSD 545s Series 256GB?

Current firmware: LHF002C

Thank you for the info.
