Hot dog that's a spicy meatball! Jebus must be looking down on us.

Your right, changing terrain through triggers was a biggy on the Battle.net forums. Thank god they added it.

- Fixed a problem that caused Heroes holding items that increase their
primary attribute to display an increase in their base damage on the
info panel. Their actual damage was not affected.

This was a rather small bug, but it was one of thew most annoying and frustrating bugs. Especailly in the old DotA versions, you'd get very confused when your hero would do around 100 damage and it looked like he did over 200... Glad they fixed tat, good job Blizzad! : thumb_up :
