Anyone notice that the Firmware 2.0 gives a little sharper image?

One of my complaints is that my X10 was a little too soft for my liking and I had to sharpen the photos to get somewhat comparable results to my Nikon D70.  Maybe I have a " placebo effect" but I am fairly certain that something changed as I was not able to get the results shown in the photo below prior to the 2.0 upgrade. Has anyone else seen an improvement in focus?

Straight out of camera no post processing.
