Good for them-looks like a lot of bug fixes, and maybe a couple of adjustments that could change up gameplay. A little late in coming for bug fixes, but for rule changes and gameplay enhancements, there's a real argument to be made for a patch well after release. It gives people a chance to find what does and doesn't work with a game, and means that you can almost re-design a game in software to give it a substantial update. In other cases this has happened much faster (usually where Lyman was involved), but better late than never?
