• Trevor Kidd added to Brand and Marketing credits.

• Building Combat Encounters chapter rewritten.

• Example encounters removed.

• Added 'Building Encounters on a Budget' and 'Short Rests' and sections on 'Modifying Encounter Difficulty' and 'Fun Combat Encounters'.

• Using a Magic Item section expanded on attunement rules.

• Bag of Holding is now a 'bag' instead of a 'cloth sack'. When destroyed, contents are now scattered in the Astral Plane instead of being 'lost forever'. Breathing creatures inside of the bag now survive for (10 divided by the number of creatures) minutes, minimum of 1. Heward’s handy haversack and similar items now affect the Bag of Holding like the Portable Hole.

• Boots of Striding and Springing now requires attunement. Also increases your walking speed to 30 feet now plus rules about the jumping part.

• Potion of Flying does not require you to use your movement to descend now when it wears off. Good luck.

• Ring of Evasion changed from uncommon to rare. Description is now different.

• Ring of Resistance changed from uncommon to rare.

• You can no longer use an Intelligence (Arcana) check to use spell scrolls not in your classes' spell list. Also, rules on copying wizard spell scrolls.

• Wand of Magic Detection now has charges. lol

• Armor +1, +2, or +3 and Weapon +1, +2, or +3

• Appendix: Monsters by Challenge Rating

Where are you getting this Change Log from?

Also, can you link to the doc the Change Log applies to for the sake of convenience and disambiguation?

Luckily I just read that section for the first time last night not knowing it had just been updated, so I'm already set. :)
