The first Alpha test segment was reported to have started a few weeks ago and now it's the turn of turn of the friends and family Alpha. These latest patch notes appear to have been leaked onto the internet, which occasionally happens with patch notes, and a slew of other files have also mysteriously appeared. Anyway, here's the notes that slipped out, not that interesting if you're not testing, but always fun to look at. As LeviathonX pointed out, the Friends & Family Alpha apparently starts tomorrow.
