The default hotkey to toggle in-game music on/off has been reverted to its hotkey prior to Patch 1.3.0. The hotkey to display APM in the observer stat panel has been changed as a result.
Protoss:
Archon
Now a Massive unit.
Range increased from 2 to 3.
Cybernetics Core
Research Warp Gate research time increased from 140 to 160.
Gateway
Sentry train time decreased from 42 to 37.
Warp Gate unit train times remain unchanged.
Pylon power radius has been decreased from 7.5 to 6.5.
Terran:
Bunker
Salvage resource return reduced from 100% to 75%.
Ghost
Cost changed from 150/150 to 200/100.
Thor
Thor now has 200 max energy, and starts with 50 energy.
250mm Strike Cannons now cost 150 energy to use (cooldown removed).
Zerg:
Infestor
Speed decreased from 2.5 to 2.25.
Spore Crawler
Root time decreased from 12 to 6.
Bug Fixes:
Fixed an issue where Ghosts could not quickly EMP the same location.
Fixed an issue that allowed players to stack air units when issuing a queued stop command before the units reached the end of their patrol point.
Fixed an issue where unplugging your USB headset while another player was talking to you could cause a crash.
Fixed an issue where the APM statistic could be artificially increased.
Fixed an issue where 3D unit portraits were not animating smoothly at slow game speeds.
Fixed an issue where, when viewing a replay, no text message was displayed when a player left a game.
The Taiwanese hotkey to display/hide the game UI while in Observer mode now works correctly.
I do stuff and thingies... Try widening and reducing the number of small nooks and crannies to correct the problem.
They also fixed a bug that allowed users to load custom data after original mpq data which allowed them to "replace" mpq files. So you could have modified every file in league games like custom textures or models like a custom nuke dot. Source
It's easier for the TSL and GSL finals to be pushed back allowing for the changes to be accounted for, than it is for the TSL and GSL to say to blizzard "hold up guys, we're having a tournament... please wait just a couple more weeks before patching."
I like how several players complain about force fields, and Blizzard responds by making sentries take less time to build.
People who complain about forcefields are not diamond or master or grandmaster, and therefore their voices don't count. And to be honest, the build time reduction makes a helluvalotofsense. Sentries are fragile as fuck and only really useful when you have 2 or 3 (or more). Having them take longer to build than Stalkers and Zealots and delaying the warp-gate tech would cripple Protoss to early barracks harass - since Marauders fuck up stalkers, and Zealots are too slow against marines under micro-management.
I'm really happy with the Archon buff. That thing was useless against anything other than Zerglings/Mutalisks. Plus, PvP had no realistic way of destroying Forcefields - unless you intentionally want to suicide a collosus...

No it's not? At all? For GSL it would delay GSL Super Tournament and GSTL 3 and completely throw their whole system out of line. For TSL, the finalists were flown into the United States from Europe for a live finals match; delaying that would cause plenty of issues.
There's no urgency to patches. They can literally do this whenever they want, there was not a single patch note that warranted any sort of necessitated quickfix. If they literally waited until Monday night to perform these changes it would cost them nothing and not potentially screw someone out of $30,000.
As for people complaining about forcefields, the majority of top foreign Zergs have made their opinions quite clear, including SEN, IdrA, and MorroW.

Actually, I was thinking on PainUser, IdrA and iNcontroL arguing about it during SotG, unless you would call them lower-level players. iNcontroL says the problem is that Protoss has been balanced around the force field, so the force field cannot be modified without changing everything else at this point, which is why Blizzard isn't touching it.
Quote from name:FaZ-
Really really silly time to make this change, fuck that.
TSL finals AND GSL finals are this weekend, one PvT and one PvZ.
That is kinda crappy timing. HDWT is going to be entering finals quite soon as well.

Also, there seems to be a bug with hallucinated archons and forcefields now: They can "walk" through forcefields. Source
Hallucinated units that are massive have always been able to do that as far as I know. Colossus did the same thing, as I recall trying to break force fields with hallucinated colossus.

I always thought that was because they used an air-pathing mover (or whatever non-ground mover they use) rather than what unit type they were. That's really interesting.
E.g., hotkey a Supply Depot to 3, then hold 3 and r for raise/lower.
Did each race have its own variation?
The Supply Depot was just an example; it probably worked with a ton of things, like the Warp Prism (although that would take more than 2 buttons) or burrowing Zerg units.
Anyway, it's patched, so there's no real point in speculation.

Off the top of my head, you could do it with any toggable ability that didn't have an explicit cooldown. Spawn Creep, possibly Burrow, Phase/Transport Modes, Siege/Unsiege Modes, and Fighter/Assault Modes.
Vrael -- It is, and I could definitely use a company with a commitment to flexibility, quality, and customer satisfaction to provide effective solutions to dampness and humidity in my urban environment.
Vrael shouted: Idk, I was looking more for a dehumidifer company which maybe stands out as a beacon of relief amidst damp and unpredictable climates of bustling metropolises. Not sure Amazon qualifies
sounds like moisture control is often a pressing concern in your city
[06:50 pm]
Vrael -- Maybe here on the StarEdit Network I could look through the Forums for some Introductions to people who care about the Topics of Dehumidifiers and Carpet Cleaning?
[06:49 pm]
Vrael -- Perhaps even here I on the StarEdit Network I could look for some Introductions.
[06:48 pm]
Vrael -- On this Topic, I could definitely use some Introductions.
[06:48 pm]
Vrael -- Perhaps that utilizes cutting-edge technology and eco-friendly cleaning products?
[06:47 pm]
Vrael -- Do you know anyone with a deep understanding of the unique characteristics of your carpets, ensuring they receive the specialized care they deserve?
Vrael shouted: I've also recently becoming interested in Carpet Cleaning, but I'd like to find someone with a reputation for unparalleled quality and attention to detail.
beats me, but I'd make sure to pick the epitome of excellence and nothing less.
[06:41 pm]
Vrael -- It seems like I may need Introductions to multiple companies for the Topics that I care deeply about, even as early as Today, 6:03 am.
