What Changed with the Easter 2014 update?

This magical 4.8 update also seems to have fixed most all of the errors in my game. I've had an open ticket with EA for a couple of months now where everything from the ticket was fixed. The common ones, which were the concrete/road freeze and layering issues, seem to be fixed. I do have a second delay with concrete, but that beats the 30+ seconds I used to have.

Took a while, but I'm finally a happy camper with this game again. I just need to find some time to decorate my town with the items from the past couple of updates. The concrete delay made remodeling and decorating impossible for my taste.
