Improved Invoke Niuzao, the Black Ox - The effect of increasing Niuzao's Stomp damage now scales based on Stagger level instead of purified damage. Fury of Xuen - The benefit of Fists of Fury was altered from haste to critical strike, and the duration increased to 10 seconds (up from 8).

Players noticed Jenafur, the secret cat pet, has changed in Patch 10.2.7.
Jenafur is a secret battle pet in World of Warcraft, introduced in Patch 8.2.5. The secret to obtaining Jenafur involves solving a complex puzzle that begins with speaking to Amara Lunastar in Ashenvale. Amara Lunastar, whose real-life inspiration was a Make-A-Wish recipient named Amara Strande, wanted to immortalize her beloved cat Jenny in the game.
Before the change, jenafur's model was more detailed and textured, the fur was darker with stripes and shading. The eyes were green and have a striking, menacing look.
In Patch 10.2.7, Jenafur's model has been updated to a simple, more cartoonish style. The fur is lighter and has a smoother texture with less details. The eyes are orange. The overall look seems less realistic to the prevous model.
We're not sure if the change was intended, but it may have been a byproduct of another change, keep in mind WoW is nearly 20 years old and updating a cat model in Duskwood can affect many things.

We've summarized all Mage changes that went live in the fourth War Within Alpha build.
Mages are under Blizzard's radar for several builds in a row now. We're highlighting some of the changes below:

Lit Fuse - The affected spell changed from Phoenix Flames to Fire Blast and the damage percentage has been doubled. Living Bomb - Damage dealt significantly buffed. Volatile Magic - The ability will now trigger when an Embedded Arcane Spliter is removed. Improved Scorch - Health threshold buffed from 4% to 30% and damage increase slightly buffed. Feel the Burn - Mastery % increase buffed, duration reduced. Kindling - Flamestrike was added to the list that can reduce the coldown of Combustion. Controlled Destruction - Ignite damage per Pyroblast hit has been reduced, but is stacks up to 25 times now. Unleash Inferno - Combustion's damage increase and cooldown reduction have been improved. Here are the tooltip changes:

Blizzard has updated the official Dark Heart patch notes with more details about the daily lockout for Mists of Pandaria content and BfA raid nerfs to improve soloing!
(Source)
Hello! We updated the Dark Heart patch notes with the following changes:
DUNGEONS AND RAIDS
The lockouts for the following raids in Mists of Pandaria content now reset each day, for both Dragonflight and WoW Remix characters: Normal and Heroic 10-player Mogu’shan Vaults, Heart of Fear, Terrace of Endless Spring, and Throne of Thunder. Normal and Heroic 10-30 player Siege of Orgrimmar Mythic 20-player Siege of Orgrimmar Raid lockouts will return to a weekly cadence after WoW Remix closes. Battle for Azeroth raid mechanics which block legacy encounter completion for small groups have been adjusted to be more permissive. Groups of five or fewer players should no longer be blocked by mechanics that cannot be completed at that raid size. -

WoW's next expansion is already full of amazing new features, but it might just have one more ace up its sleeve! The ability to change colors on, well everything really, has been one of the top community request since forever, and there are some hints that some form of a dyeing system could be in the works!
Prolific community dataminer keyboardturn has been poking away at the War Within Alpha sine it arrived, and today she's found a big one. Starting with a cryptic thread, she slowly unveiled her detective work:
Seems like a version of the gold/blue dress thing from a while ago, right? Not quite. As she says in the first tweet, there's a lot more to it:
And finally, the extremely excited conclusion:
This also isn't the only indication at a dye-related system appearing either. A much less indicative clue was found earlier on the Alpha as well, as the Azj-Kahet city of the War Within actually hosts some interesting NPCs, with not only dye vendors available, but also dye removers and a dyed fabric vendor as well:
Now, a version of this was already in the game for a while, but this is a significant broadening of it, as keyboardtun explains:
Seems like a lot of indications of something going on, right? Now, what exactly these vendors are for isn't exactly crystal clear. What exactly would we be dying? Could it be the extremely and infinitely asked-for gear dying? That seems a little less likely, especially right off the bat, as re-colored gear sets are very large part of WoW's transmog reward scheme. So what else could it be? Perhaps tailors will be able to craft specific and special pieces of gear that can be dyed? Or maybe this isn't even gear-related at all and there's a whole other system being added that this would be used for (*cough*housing*cough*)? Of course it also might just be an internal thing, unrelated to players at all, and the vendors are just for something else.
The tech does seem to be developed, but for precisely what purpose will remain a mystery until Blizzard reveal it. What would you want it to be?
