Arma Reforger update was released today for PC and Xbox consoles. You can get the complete patch notes for the update here.
The application of multiple item damage from explosion projectiles has been enhanced. NwkMovementComponent extrapolation used the older value rather than the most current value. The RplId of nodes that were lost during creation was made easy to log. There was also an explanation of prefab entityID network serialisation.
