The new update is meant to support the wii motion plus controllers but it only supports itin the homebrew menu not any of the apps so that part of the update is pointless.
The new RVL-CNT-01-TR Wiimotes are now supported. Unfortunately, although HBC itself will work, there’s no way it can make existing homebrew work with it too – authors will have to recompile using the latest libogc SVN. C’est la vie!

No it isn't. There is no possible way for HBC to make apps work with the new remotes, they have to be updated themselves by their respective developers. And they will. But if HBC didn't work with the new remotes, you would have no way to load the working homebrew apps, so that part of the update is very important for anyone with those remotes.
And there is already a thread for this, there do not need to be two.
