This is just...the most amazing thing, for me this is the biggest buff in my PvT, way better than observer cost nerf. How the hell did Blizz NOT mention it.

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.

Um, the text says " It still flashes when something is being researched though." implying that it was there before.

Yes but if you read the context, you'll realize it says "still" because it USED to flash while researching and now it still does. It ALSO used to flash while making a unit out of the tech lab, but now it doesn't anymore.

nukes are horrible right now to be fair, this would force scouting of bases, sucks for protoss 8(

i twas playing around and found that even though the patch said that it charges players for requesting autorepair, i don't see any difference from the last patch.

9. Buildings with tech labs no longer flash green when constructing a unit that requires the tech lab, It still flashes when something is being researched though.

Has anyone else noticed that the game runs now better in general?
I play in a laptop that barely can support this game and now I see that it runs just a bit better. I get like 12 FPS w/o battles which is an increase of my past average of 10, I do notice it! Rare? For sure it is to me.
Also, in small battles (I have not had a big battle yet) my game does not decrease its FPS, so I am still battling at 10-12 FPS which is the minimum I need to micro properly! =D

I just found one today:

If you have an Orbital + Planetary in the same control group, pressing S to make SCV's will only make SCV's in the Orbital. Regardless of how many times I press S the planetary won't make SCV's. I have to click the plantetary manually in order to produce out of them.

(This was when I had a control group with 2 Orbitals and 1 Planetary; it happened in a few of my games. I'm not sure if the same applies with only 1 Orbital and 1 Planetary).
