 ### Fixed
 
 - Fixed issue where `NetworkPrefabProcessor` would not mark the prefab list as dirty and prevent saving the `DefaultNetworkPrefabs` asset when only imports or only deletes were detected.(#3103)
-- Fixed issue with nested `NetworkTransform` components clearing their initial prefab settings when in owner authoritative mode on the server side while using a client-server network topology which resulted in improper synchronization of the nested `NetworkTransform` components. (#3099)
+- Fixed an issue where nested `NetworkTransform` components in owner authoritative mode cleared their initial settings on the server, causing improper synchronization. (#3099)
 - Fixed issue with service not getting synchronized with in-scene placed `NetworkObject` instances when a session owner starts a `SceneEventType.Load` event. (#3096)
 - Fixed issue with the in-scene network prefab instance update menu tool where it was not properly updating scenes when invoked on the root prefab instance. (#3092)
-- Fixed issue where a newly synchronizing client would be synchronized with the current `NetworkVariable` values always which could cause issues with collections if there were any pending state updates. Now, when initially synchronizing a client, if a `NetworkVariable` has a pending state update it will serialize the previously known value(s) to the synchronizing client so when the pending updates are sent they aren't duplicate values on the newly connected client side. (#3081)
+- Fixed an issue where newly synchronizing clients would always receive current `NetworkVariable` values, potentially causing issues with collections if there were pending updates. Now, pending state updates serialize previous values to avoid duplicates on new clients. (#3081)
 - Fixed issue where changing ownership would mark every `NetworkVariable` dirty. Now, it will only mark any `NetworkVariable` with owner read permissions as dirty and will send/flush any pending updates to all clients prior to sending the change in ownership message. (#3081)
-- Fixed issue with `NetworkVariable` collections where transferring ownership to another client would not update the new owner's previous value to the most current value which could cause the last/previous added value to be detected as a change when adding or removing an entry (as long as the entry removed was not the last/previously added value). (#3081)
+- Fixed an issue where transferring ownership of `NetworkVariable` collections didn't update the new owner’s previous value, causing the last added value to be detected as a change during additions or removals. (#3081)
 - Fixed issue where a client (or server) with no write permissions for a `NetworkVariable` using a standard .NET collection type could still modify the collection which could cause various issues depending upon the modification and collection type. (#3081)
 - Fixed issue where applying the position and/or rotation to the `NetworkManager.ConnectionApprovalResponse` when connection approval and auto-spawn player prefab were enabled would not apply the position and/or rotation when the player prefab was instantiated. (#3078)
 - Fixed issue where `NetworkObject.SpawnWithObservers` was not being honored when spawning the player prefab. (#3077)

 ### Changed
 
 - Changed `NetworkConfig.AutoSpawnPlayerPrefabClientSide` is no longer automatically set when starting `NetworkManager`. (#3097)
-- Changed `NetworkVariableDeltaMessage` so the server now forwards delta state updates (owner write permission based from a client) to other clients immediately as opposed to keeping a `NetworkVariable` or `NetworkList` dirty and processing them at the end of the frame or potentially on the next network tick. (#3081)
-
+- Updated `NetworkVariableDeltaMessage` so the server now forwards delta state updates from clients immediately, instead of waiting until the end of the frame or the next network tick. (#3081)
