You can get the full list of changes to the characters at this link, but if your primary concern is on the bugs, here's a complete list below.

Gameplay fixes

FIXED – There is an exploit that results in Ranked games awarding 0-5 MMR after a win.
FIXED – Hit registration and kill cam show a headshot without the proper bonus point with a neck shot.
FIXED – The player cannot detonate a Nitro Cell if they are put in a DBNO state while holding it and then revived.
FIXED – Weapons will become invisible when the revive animation of a player or hostage is interrupted.
FIXED – The feedback for cooking a Frag Grenade is not replicated in support mode.
FIXED – The camera clips through an Operator when they go down stairs while in prone.
FIXED – The compass does not move, or shows the wrong direction, while the player is rappelling.

FIXED – The One Way Mirror plant event is triggered twice, making the sound too loud.
FIXED – Sometimes Mira cannot place Reinforcements next to the One Way Mirror.

FIXED – Objects on shelves disappear and deform upon LOD drop.

User experience fixes
