    Wow.  Zerg just cannot get a break.  Roach going from 1 to 2 supply is pretty huge for the early game.
     
    Not sure what the point of the forge changes are, but ok sure.  Make cannons easier to deny?  Not really sure what they are hoping for with that.

    I'm guessing the forge was too strong, and made too good a ramp wall, or something like that. Hadn't heard anything about it though. The Roach change sounds reasonable to me, given how strong Roaches are and how easy they are to mass early on.
     
    The change that I really appreciate though isn't listed here, but it's the decrease in the Thor's size by 2/5ths. Given how slow they are, and their inability to cliffwalk, their old size really gimped them.

    Forge - Build time increased from 35 to 45. Life and shield values decreased from 550/550 to 400/400. 

    We are seeing a Photon Cannon rush against protoss and zerg. Against protoss, players usually use a cliff edge or the enemy minerals in combination with their forge to protect their pylon. Against zerg, you can use the Forge and Pylon to block the zerg player’s ramp. We have a few numbers we can tweak to fix this, build time on the Forge being the most obvious. However if we make the build time too high it will be difficult to panic build a Forge and Cannons to block a badly played cloak attack. So we are going to try a mixture of health nerfs to the Forge and a small timing change.

    Oh man, I hope that "crash" fix is what I think it is. It's such a pain in the ass to have to ctrl+alt+delete anytime I want to close the program. 
     
    Edit: it is indeed. Happy days! Also, the new Thor is still pretty substantial in size. It's quite humorous to see it being transported by a medivac.
