After all the anticipation of the patch notes coming down JUST before a server hiccup at Turbine brought down the website, the actual patch notes for Bullroarer are quite tame.
I think the biggest thing in there (other then sound to the /toast emote) is the change to the Lockboxes:

Notice the name change for this update, which makes sense for me as it is a bug-fix patch for Update 5.
The Known issues are up first with a few:

I’m sure many have already found these but I at least wanted to toss in a few comments as I go through them. I will be going through the armor sets and the Warden class here in the next day or so. And remember, these are just the first set of notes so get on Bullroarer, test, and submit those bugs!
Some of the big items in this update are (many talked about here):

I’m sure Doc will be along with a post of his own on this, but as you might have seen the Bullroarer update 5 (Armies of Isengard) patch notes are now up! This looks like an exciting update and I can’t wait to jump on Bullroarer and test it out. In the meantime though, I’ve got a few questions about the update from the lore-master’s perspective
1) How will lore-masters fit into the raid finder?

A while back, in fact quite a long while back as it was before update 2, I wrote a guide to lore-master LI legacies on the official forum. While the info in there still stacks up fairly well, with Isengard and various patches, there’s been enough changes to the LI system and to class mechanics that I think it’s worth putting together an updated guide to lore-master legacies. And while I’m here, I’ll also cover some of the basic information on when and why to upgrade your LIs, because there’s been some confusion about this on the forums recently.

In today’s Developer Diary, Jeff “MadeofLions” Libby walks us through the design process for the main storyline in Isengard, Book 4 of the Epic Line.
This is somewhat of a fluff article, but a couple things jumped out at me:

While you wait for the patching and servers to come live, there are certainly enough patch notes to keep you busy.
I don’t expect too many changes, but as always there are a few things that we haven’t seen.

Well Zombie Columbus has been teasing us for a while about this diary, and apparently he was determined to not let Orion show him up as he released a massive 7 page Developer Diary today walking through the Rise of Isengard changes for Rune-keepers.
