Late last night the realms had a hotfix applied, yet another in a long line of patch 5.0.5 live changes. These changes do not fix the various things that can be modified only with a client side patch, and they're not indicative of patch 5.1 dropping (or not dropping) anytime soon.

Some of the highlights from these hotfixes:

• Fixed an issue with the way that Glyph of Jab could interact with various weapons.
• In the Raid Finder version of [the] encounter, Garalon's Fury ability will now stack 5 times with a 15 second duration, and Pungency now stacks 20 times.
• In the Raid Finder version of [the] encounter, Garalon will not enter combat until a player enters one of the visible circles surrounding his body or legs, or performs a hostile action.
• Highly Explosive Yaungol Oil no longer deals damage to hostile players.

The full list after the break.
