With the start of the third week of testing for the MoP Classic Beta, Blizzard has released the latest development notes, citing known and fixed issues on the test servers.

As far as new issues, there are some bugs with NPCs in the Vale of Eternal Blossoms zone, which was just added to the Beta.

Active Glyphs and action bar settings being cleared when logging out have been fixed. So has the item socketing UI, as well as an error with the way mana pools are calculated and damage updating for DoTs.
