Check out the patch notes here, the biggest features are the new Battle.net UI, the new custom maps section and of course new Editor enhancements!

Blizzard has also published 2 new videos through the official starcraft channel:

New HotS Multiplayer Units


Battle Report with Day[9



Diablo III News

Patch 1.0.2b & 1.0.3 Preview!
  • The newest patch to be released with hotfixes is 1.0.2b!
  • Blizzard gives us a sneak peek at the upcoming 1.0.3 patch!

The newest patch to be released is 1.0.2b, check out the patch notes below:

General
  • When logging into Diablo III, the "Cancel" button which appears in the login checkbox will now be grayed out for 30 seconds after a Battle.net account name and password are entered. This is to reduce server load during the login process.

Auction House
  • Damaged items can now be sold on the auction house:
    Once sold, damaged items will be repaired automatically when moved from the purchasing player's Completed tab to their stash
    Please note that unsold damage items will not be automatically repaired when returned to the seller's stash
  • Description messages for several auction house-related errors have been added

Mac
  • Several Mac performance improvements have been made

Bug Fixes

General
  • It is no longer possible to skip entire Acts in a multiplayer game

Classes
  • Barbarian:
    Fixed a bug that was allowing certain barbarian skills to continuously trigger each other's critical strikes, to the point of causing the player to crash. To address this crash, the following skill and skill rune combinations can no longer be triggered by each other's critical strikes.

Followers
  • Monsters who are charmed by the Enchantress's skill "Mass Confusion" can no longer kill event NPCs

And be sure to check out this neat article explaining the main changes in patch 1.0.3!

  • Name the 4 maps that have recently received a 5/5 rating!
  • Name&Link the 2 Off-Topic threads with the most replies!
  • There was a thread trend in Something Else when it was still up! What was it always about? Hint: Something about rating.
  • Are username changes free or not? And how can you get a name change?

*Answered

3. I'm going to guess something about map ratings and if people could be notified who rated what. I couldn't be bothered searching so I asked google.

^False.
It wasn't anything site related, it was pure something else.

@Drunken_Jackal, correct. +4.

Would make more sense if you ask me, I've seen some great projects in the map development section, and the news batch currently only serves as a monthly bump for the hosted projects.

Good Job Kelly.

Though it wasn't very nice of you to stick that Jass resource link at the end of the thread like it's a piece of trash D:

I wonder why you did not feature Gaias on the Project Spotlight, Zwiebelchen was doing a lot of progress lately.
