4/ We may finally see HCU recoveries - they say that this update will "better capture improvements that sites have made." And they updated their (limited) guidance on what to do if you get hit by and update.
3/ Google is again emphasizing that it wants sites to create content for humans, not to just do well on search. If you are doing "scaled content" this might not be a good update for you.
1/ It sounds very much like we will see more weight given to small publishers on the SERPs. Google said: "we aim to connect people with a range of high quality sites, including small or independent sites that are creating useful, original content"
