YGOPRO Forum

how the update log work is not something we can change as would create more problem than solution (anime can get quite a few Pull merged at the same time, so if you add the regular live at the same time, making the whole thing unreadable)
As for saying when something get fixed, it is a problem of workforce
the 2 main person that answer topic on the forum regularly lately are european, if the bug get fixed by someone in another timezone, it is possible that we forget to return to the topic to says "it was fixed", even more if we get a bunch of work at the same time, like a Vjump news release or new official rulings requiring us to update stuff or even a sudden surge of discord report

as for "Exciting news", until the next update, there is few stuff that can be exciting
DM-ArcV have nearly all the cards that are possible to do done already (and the remaining stuff is mainly weak stuff or impossible to make)
Vrains can get a small backlog depending on the disponibility of scripters, but most of it is done quickly

the most "exciting" stuff that are sure to be done short term we can says is have been that I'm working on dealing with the blank proxy backlog (if MSE could stop crashing every 5 min...)
the rest of possible news is "on hold until update" or "behind the scene stuff that users don't care" like "we updated a utility to make work easier for us in the long run"
