I've just updated my machines to todays release of steemd and I've successfully witnessed blocks already :D
The update was fairly quick and trouble-free , but there's no major changes in this release - mostly bug fixes and stability improvements within the p2p network code.
The more important part of this update imo was the clear guide for exchanges to setup steem nodes , that I hope will result in Steem being made available at more exchanges. Or at least, maybe Poloniex will fix their Steem integration issues.
