[...] Posting the current patch notes I wrote here as a summary of the changes. Please let me know if there's anything that seems off or that I missed. (Managing expectations caveat: Just the initial dev done at the moment, so needs review, QA, localisation, etc, so don't expect a release any time soon.) It was well received in Friday's presentation, though. 😁"
