There's quite a lot of "tinkering" type updates. They all look pretty nice, but it's mostly cosmetic without really addressing many of the concerns in those areas.
The little notification face-lift looks quite nice and is an improvement, but isn't a substitute for actually being able to filter notifications or see each type separately - I hope that is still coming.
It's nice to have the sentient filter in the trader too, though for me it's only a 'nice to have' as it doesn't really do a lot more than just filtering on platinum demands, for me. I think others have been waiting for this, though, and for them I guess this will be more meaningful. Again, the real help would be in being able to intuitively filter the trades to remove cross-tier or poor value trades. A true "advanced filter" to allow people to tailor it exactly how they want is the real Holy Grail that I hope is coming.
