According to Windows United, the bug fixes include patches for camera issues recently reported by Windows 10 Mobile users. This bug caused the front camera image to flip or hindered the display of the rear camera image; both issues have been resolved.
Microsoft plans to release the update for all users in the coming weeks. However, if you're part of the Windows Insiders program on the Fast ring, you can download the latest version and experience it.
