JP notes out immediately, English translation out now too, but forum congestion is blocking that. Google translate shows no surprises in the JP notes though; skirmish 2and accompanying changes, xp/bayld reward modifications for courier / scout ops, minor UI change to make hp over 10k more visible, bug fixes.
