**1. NEW FIELD RESEARCH OBJECTIVES**
Field Research involving Gym Battles and Raids have seen a nomenclature change - pointing at upcoming Research objectives involving both Raids and winning gym battles
**2. ONE NEW MOVE: SMACK DOWN!**
A new 'quick' (or 'fast') move has been added: **Smack Down**!
**3. NEW GIFT BOX: COMMUNITY DAY BOX**
There's now a dedicated graphic asset for the Community Day sale box.
**4. POKESTOP SUBMISSION CLUES!**
More has been added this round regarding POI submissions in the Pokemon GO client! This is super exciting to see. The update this time revolved around how photos may be added to POI submissions.
**5. YOU CAN NOW REPORT WEATHER ISSUES**
Self explanatory! Check it out in the new client.
**6. NEW “MYTHICAL” SEARCH FILTER**
The 'mythical' search filter was added in this version - hinting at preparations being made for ... additional mythical species....
**7. PASSCODE REDEMPTION TWEAKS**
Minor tweaks to passcode redemption process
**8. ITEM SPRITE SCALE TWEAKS**
`ItemSpriteScale` was added, likely as a fix for the Badge awards screen (e.g. avatar pants, etc, for certain badges).
**9. MINOR TWEAKS TO BANNED PLAYER CODE**
This one is simply a hypothesis, but the metadata surrounding banned/locked-out players was re-shuffled. No notable changes were made, but the code looks like it was disturbed. Keep an eye out for potential server-side changes on this front.
**10. MAJOR TELEMETRY (PERFORMANCE MONITORING) ADDITIONS**
This is a serious effort on the performance monitoring front. The added library appears to have the capabilities to monitor and report all sorts of device issues, including boot/load times for different screens, etc.
If you ask us, this points towards more aggressive efforts on Niantic's part to monitor and debug performance issues.
