Each time we introduce small improvements to the game (patches), we release a list of the changes in a thread called 'patch notes' in the Recent Updates forum.

In addition, we have created this archive thread so that all the patch notes can be posted here, to act as a permanent record of the patches released.

As this thread is intended to act as a source of information only, the thread will be locked.

However, if you wish to comment on the latest patches, you can post on the current thread, in the Recent Updates forum.

If you want to let us know about a graphical error or possible bug in the game, please use the 'Submit a Bug Report' option from the top tab bar help menu, on the main page.

We hope you find this archive interesting and useful!
