I've seen and read the State of The Game updates, but haven't actually seen any patch notes regarding specific game changes until this morning. Looks like they're doing it via the official forums:
Notice the Skill / Traits changes. Also, I had noticed that I no longer had to pull crafting mats out of the bank to craft with them which was excellent!
