For anybody who doesn't get how huge this is: Until now, the tech lab would always flash green when a banshee or raven was constructed. Good luck placing your bets if cloak is being researched. Now you can definitely, like with 99% certainty scout for a cloak research. I've taken a quick look into liquipedia and these are the other possible things that a terran could research from the starport-techlab:
-) Caduceus Reactor: Increases the Medivac's starting energy by 25.
-) Corvid Reactor: Increases the Raven's starting energy by 25.
-) Durable Materials: Increases the duration of Auto-Turrets and Point Defense Drones to 240 seconds, and increases the duration of the Seeker Missile to 20 Seconds.
-) Seeker Missile: Allows Ravens to use the Seeker Missile ability.
Now why on God's green earth would a terran research one of THESE abilities in the early-midgame? Conclusion:
Does the tech-lab flash, you have now successfully scouted for cloak research. If you don't see the tech-lab flashing, then chances are high that the terran goes for a quick raven.

The change is that building units that require it no longer triggers the animation. Nothing else
Also, PM'd you.

That's not what he means. In the current iteration, if you're building a hellion on a tech labed Factory, nothing happens, but build a Siege Tank or Thor, and it lights up regardless of research. Now it only lights up when something is researching.

OMG, can someone else please confirm this?! This might be the biggest change done in this patch. Being able to see when stem/blue flame/cloak is being researched or not is huge!
