It's readme file. I'm impressed how fast they have made all that:

"Version 1.05 Patch 1

TBM now scores as a bomber.

Rockets on PT Boat now work.

PT can now be destroyed by large ship guns.

Seafire guns now fire from correct positions.

Damage messages on PT Boat's aft and forward MGs reversed.

Torpedos on PT boat now shade correctly.

True airspeed indicator on F6F fixed.

Tailhook light in Zero now works.

Fixed problems with icons disappearing in gunsights of F6F, TBM, and B-17.

250 pound bombs on F6F now load correctly.

Fixed a problem that was making hard landings instantly fatal instead of damaging
the plane.

Added a three quarter second delay on proximity fuzes when they're first fired.

Fixed some issues with the fleet command/rank system.

CVs now have radar coverage.

Disabled the map room function on CVs as a temporary measure.

Fixed a problem with fleets showing up in strange places if you exited the game
and came back in.

Gunning for another pilot doesn't disconnect him anymore.

Gunners get killed when their ship is sunk.

PT boats are now disabled at ports when the vehicle hangar is down.

Fixed a lockup bug when dropping troops.

Fixed a lockup bug in the gun system.  If you see a debug message in your text
buffer, please report that to us."

Que,
I would think that it would be governed by how efficiently the code is organized and how difficult the tasks are.

I imagine that quite a few of those things in the patch are relatively simple to fix.

(I work in software QA) Which is not quite the same, but I AM surrounded by the enem..., er, ...programmers.
