Sony releases PlayStation Vita firmware v1.66, replaces yesterday's borked update

• When searching for location data, users now have the option to 'Retry' and 'Cancel' when a failure occurs.
• A progress bar is introduced for application installation.
• A direct link to PlayStation Store is made available for new applications that users may discover on near.
• Users can now update data at any time within near, provided they are within the same location.

• Functional improvements have been made in the following games and applications: Unit 13, Gravity Daze, near.

ORIGINAL STORY:Sony has begun rolling out PlayStation Vita firmware update v1.66, a replacement for yesterday's quickly-pulled V1.65 release.

On the surface, nothing appears to have changed since yesterday's update. v1.66 simply appears to be a fully-working revision of the previous update, pulled hours after going live due to a "technical fault".

That granted users minor tweaks such as the ability to toggle all notification alerts off and improved the functionality of Near.

v1.66 is out in the wild for European users to download now.
