But hey, they don't have me as their PR or Release manager. If they did, they'd be winning! lol except they usually release notes ahead of time like in EVE, because when people dont know ahead of time in EVE, they end up getting screwed, losing months of focus because they were unprepared, and then they get mad and yell at CCP and etc etc etc. most fo teh mroe successful patches and balacning passes were with MONTHS of open discussion on what is changed where in a public thread for the playerbase Yea and EvE also doesn't have monthly updates and doesn't have to go through Sonys QA process.
In general, we try to release patch notes about a week before the release date. Depending on how things go.
Re 1.8 patch notes - I'd love to give you more info but there's quite a bit still in the air. A lot of the development teams have gone home for the holidays, but we'll share out more when we can.

Will 1.8 still be following the monthly release cadence or will it ship a bit later due to the holidays?
It'll be shipping later - but haven't nailed down when yet.

We (Community) compile patch notes from the various Dev teams a few weeks prior to Deployment. Sometimes, things are added in subsequent to that point which require no additional changes to the client (server-side, 'hot fixed') - which could explain some of what you're saying. Also, it's possible that some smaller changes can slip through the cracks and the teams might forget to send over the changes to us. We'll do our best though! :)
