Online storage capacity increase — PS4 online storage capacity has increased from 1GB to 10GB for all PS Plus members. In 3.00 system software, you’ll see that we added a handy usage meter to monitor your available storage capacity, and a new Auto-Upload menu has been added to Application Saved Data Management.
YouTube live — PS4 owners will be able to live stream gameplay to YouTube. Live streams will be viewable across YouTube, including on the new YouTube Gaming mobile app and website.
Events — A new hub for events has been added, giving an overview of activities taking place in the games you play most, as well as official broadcasts. For instance, you may see an update for a Double XP weekend, a special enemy appearing at a scheduled time, or seasonal events like in-game towns being decorated for the winter. You’ll also receive notifications when the event starts, or if the timing changes.
Favorite Groups — Favorite Groups has been added to the Friends app, letting you quickly access groups of people you like to play games with frequently. This will make the process of getting a game session up and running even easier.
Communities — PS4 users will have the ability to create communities based around shared interests, like games, genres, and more. Communities include a message board with general discussion, screenshots shared by players, and the ability to join parties / games. If you want to tackle a big multiplayer raid, but don’t have enough friends available, this could be a great way to connect with other players who are looking for the same thing.
Sharing video clips to Twitter — Users will have the ability to share video clips directly to Twitter. Maximum video length is 10 seconds, though you’ll have the ability to trim longer clips.
Stickers — Tired of typing out messages? With this update, you’ll be able to send stickers to friends through the messages.
Now Playing / What’s New — The Now Playing screen will display even more information about what your friends are doing, and you’ll be able to quickly jump into a game, party, request a screen share, or get sent to the PS Store to buy the game your friend is playing – further enhancing the social relationship with your friends online.
Live from PlayStation — We’ve improved the Live From PlayStation app, making it easier to view popular trending broadcasts in real-time.
Request to watch gameplay — Want to view a friend’s gameplay session? Now you can send a ‘Request to Watch’ notification to a player, which will start a live broadcast or Share Play invitation to the person playing.

Some nice stuff there. The biggest one to me is the increase in cloud storage. I had already maxed out my storage.

I didn't see shite about folders. I didn't read that, but I still didn't see anything.

Like the increased capacity, friend grouping, and the gameplay watch request.

Still awaiting name change ability.

Yes and it sounds like they are adjusting the what's new which is good. I like seeing what people have been playing but most of that section has been ads.

Sick of getting the "cannot upload game save" error and having to delete old game save backups, so this is nice to see.

Yeah, I would like to change my high school made PSN ID Xstud37 to something else.

"X" as in Xbox, which is very ironic for obvious reasons...and "stud" as in...well stud, which is far from applicable.

The "no spaces" thing is the part that always bugged me.

Why would I be envious when I have a nice new 72" being shipped to my door as we speak...

I got accepted to be a beta tester for the new update. Will report back with anything worth noting.

I just received my code,

Has anyone else got this, and was your Playstation 4 still alive afterwards?

Yea, I got mine. PS4 is still active. I created a a community for my stream.

You can now turn off all notifications or enable notifications. Here are some notable ones that I can think of that haven't been there before (to the best of my knowledge):

- Community notifications
- Requests to watch gameplay
- Events
- Current Song (i'm guessing in conjunction with Spotify)

On the Playstation Bar (notifications, Friends, Messages, etc.) they have added a Playstation Plus section. You can view the entirety of your PS+ Library (can't see PS3 purchases on PS4 and vice versa). You can also view the most recently added games to Playstation Plus. Finally, you can manage your membership aka view your sign up date, renew your membership, and cancel your auto renewal.

no search feature on the community thing just yet. Not sure how we are supposed to locate any individual communities as of now.

I invited a few folks from the Gaming Board Playstation Network List that were on my friends list and was hoping it would recommend other users and spread like that seeing as there is no search feature.
