As per the changelog available on the screenshot shared by the source, Samsung has improved the moisture detection algorithm through the update. The algorithm is designed to monitor the USB port to restrict charging on the smartphone if a connector with moisture is inserted.

Further, the software update apparently improves the stability of Samsung's Knox Guard and optimises the security of the smartphone. There are also various stability improvements and bug fixes, but there aren't any changes to the Android security patch that's still the August one.
