They are pretty minor. A decent number are a clarification that when there is a list of attacks that start with 1/Day they mean 1/Day for each item in the list. And then some minor errors like "when we said bite, and you found no bite in the attack entry, we meant the thing that is actually in the attack entry which is called "Attach". Same with Greatclub meaning Stone Club, etc. Most of the remaining changes are imitative changes, and a couple of hit point and ability score corrections.

I feel that the Hobgoblin and Red Dragon have weird damages.

Hobgoblins deal 2d10 damage which feels like a lot for a CR 1/2 monster, and the Captain does less.

The Red Dragon is similar in that the Young has a 2d6 + 1d6 Rend to the Adult's 1d10 + 2d4. Feels like like the Adult should be 2d8 + 2d6.
 

They are pretty minor. A decent number are a clarification that when there is a list of attacks that start with 1/Day they mean 1/Day for each item in the list.
Except apparently Githyanki, which did the opposite for some reason…?
