It adds a few new features, like the power button and search charm on the Start screen. Think of it as Windows 8.1.1 ;)

Windows 8 had an update last year, namely 8.1 and now an update for 8.1 has been released. Read about it here:

The update being called 8.1.1 adds some features to the existing install of 8.1 See the following article ( scroll down to see pic's) windows-81-update-1-review (winsupersite.com)

To answer the other question --- NO you still need to download 8.1 to upgrade from W8 from the store. 8.1 has to be in before the new updates will show and install.

The only way to get 8.1 off line is install it Via a 8.1 DVD.

Whats interesting, just did a install from a New 8.1.1 ISO the other day (from TechNet) , which has all the updates, BUT when checking this morning it still wants to install KB2919355 but is a smaller size than the original , Hmmmmmmm

1372198 2014-04-08 23:11:00 Personally I'll trust Waiunuitech's advice - (Sadly I let him take all the risks first!)

1372199 2014-04-08 23:25:00 The update went smoothly this morning. A stack of updates were downloaded, and then installed, presumably in the correct order. Terry Porritt (14)
1372200 2014-04-08 23:34:00 Just installed the update on my desktop. Couple of extra buttons, and good to see Store apps in the taskbar. pcuser42 (130)
1372201 2014-04-09 00:17:00 Just installed the update on my desktop. Couple of extra buttons, and good to see Store apps in the taskbar.

Just update mine, too - don't notice any extra buttons other than the Store app in the taskbar.

What are they?
