Structured by Nerf Radar from the official notes (parsed automatically and reviewed by hand). Short beta client post by a Blizzard community manager. The three listed fixes were parsed from the post; the closing line about fixes that cannot be tested in-game is not a change. The build number comes from the post's opening line.
