Here are the patch notes from a game update pushed live this morning (from the patcher):

    *** Highlights ***

        All Underfoot zones have had a temporary 20% increase in experience granted when killing NPCs.

    *** Items ***

        Recent marketplace items and all marketplace mount saddles are now Heirloom.
        The Bridle of King Kalakor will once again summon a lion with a full mane.

    *** Quests & Events ***

        The Hot Zone tasks in the Firiona Vie zone now give the proper updates.

    *** Miscellaneous ***

        The Welcome Screen now displays only if it hasn't been seen by any character on the current account in the past 22 hours.

    *** UI ***

        Corrected issues with the 3D preview window where it would not show proper coloring on tinted mounts or illusions.
        Corrected issues with the 3D preview window where it would not show illusions that were triggered by spells (such as the Fabled Ball of Golem Clay).
        Fixed issue causing your buff window to reset to 2 columns wide in some cases when you had set it to 1 column wide.
        Fixed issue with the map window where the minumum window size was hard coded into the window. It now is represented in the xml file.
        Changed
            EQUI_BuffWindow.xml
            EQUI_Inventory.xml
            EQUI_MapViewWnd.xml
            EQUI_ShortDurationBuffWindow.xml

    *** Previously Updated ***

        The gnomes that made the Clockwork Magma Meter have made further adjustments to its design that should make it even less likely to lose track of its owner.
        Unstable Creation Corrected an issue that could potentially have caused the loot chest to despawn early.
        Unstable Creation Fixed an error with the Creation's non-overloaded spell selection and timing.
        Magus Sisters Sisters who absorb the essence of a fallen sister will receive more benefits than they did previously.
        The First Creation decided that he has been a bit too easy on adventurers that dare to threaten him. He has decided to pick up his pace a bit.
