Can we get an explanation of what these two mean? "Improved" and "Updated" - that's pretty vague. And sounds like it has the potential to break existing content. What exactly was 'improved' and 'updated'?

These are usually written quite quickly from a bug report list of fixes they've made in that build. So while they may not be the most detailed, they are often a comment from a bug report something along the line of, using shear and taper is jerky while editing tubes and cylinders, they will fix the bug and make a quick comment like seen in the release note, the same for avatar mesh, it might have been something like avatar shape becomes unstable or deformed when i do x y or z and viewed by a third party

I think she means the objects ON the avatar (attachments).
