The turning vanes did change from launch to Australia. It's very hard to see but Ferrari added a small dent to the element that connects to the sidepod:
I only mention this because in China they've updated that area again (and i'll leave that for bar555 to keep on his great work), and I think it should be interesting to see how that area keeps evolving on a car that's had almost no changes at all.
Also worth mentioning is that the upper connection element has changed accordingly (easy to notice thanks to the screw...):
On the left is before the change.

Thanks a lot for the notice ,
Sometimes it is really hard to observe and follow all tiny evolutions , especially when i have to cope with all teams

ENGINE COVER - AUSTRALIA
Ferrari had also a new engine cover . The “hump” on top of the cover was replaced by a more convenient design .
AIRBOX WINGLETS-CAMERA - AUSTRALIA
Apart from the T shaped camera there was a winglet attached on the left side of the airbox . For Massa only a camera was fitted inside the winglet .
Ferrari also used only during free practice sessions , a small camera attached on the right side of the airbox .
REAR LIGHT - AUSTRALIA
FRONT BRAKES - AUSTRALIA
1.Disc holes
2.Brake duct
3.Small winglet with a small endplate
4.Larger winglet added to the upright of the front wheels . It could be considered an unsprung aerodynamic device
5.Callipers
FRONT WHEEL RIM SHEILDS - AUSTRALIA
The static wheel rim shield improves brake cooling and better hot air extraction and a better hot brake coming air flow towards the rear of the car . The winglet above the wheel nut further improves the airflow towards the rear .
REAR WHEEL RIM SHEILDS - AUSTRALIA

On the sidepods there's a tiny squarish hole right beneath the main aperture, i guess it's to cool something, does anyone know what gets cooled by it? gearbox/diff? kers? electronics?
Thanks!

Exactly!
We were wondering about this pic here:
I have no idea if what's stuck in there is part of a cooling device or a breather or what

I think the right one(on the pic left) is for kers cooling, on the other side is probably the ecu wich also requires some cooling.
The F60 seems a car with a as low as possible CG so these parts cant take their cooling air from the regular hole anymore

Note that R29 had similar holes on winter testing, later they extended radiator intakes.
Both cars (F60 and R29) run Magnetti-Marelli KERS system

As regards the steering wheel i will explain what the buttons are for but you have to wait . If you can’t wait though you can check this

Enjoy!
It's difficult to see, but it looks like the new diffuser is on, and not only that, but Ferrari may have adapted or at least gone closer to RBRs design of extending the wing endplates all the way down or at least part way down and connecting them to the diffuser. Maybe not the lower channel, but the upper.
The sidepods also look smaller, and the exhaust is now more like the one on the debut car but still different. It also looks like the car itself sits lower at the front with the front suspension angle changed (possibly the shape of the nose) and the body work engine cover around the rear suspension looks more covering. Also the heat shielding around the exhaust is different and seems to extend towards the rear suspension and form some sort of bodywork.
It's difficult to see anything else from the poor video (It helps to press the HQ button for better quality).
