This Version number is v4.1.6. In this update Google has added a new look for the home buttons (Apps, Games, Movies, etc.), giving them a more colorful appearance. Google has also removed the traces of the dark colored Holo Theme from Play Store with this update and you will no longer get the dark background in settings or menu items or even buttons.

The company has also changed the ‘My wishlist’ view from a list to a grid based cards design. In addition, the ‘Update All’ now works with the apps with new permissions too, Google will still show you the permissions to check and accept, but you won't need to open every app with changed permissions and then follow the rest procedure.
