Playtest Barbarian Updated ?

Does anyone know if the Final Playtest Barbarian is the same as the original copy ? I know sometimes they update the final copy when they put out the compiled Dragon format. I was wondering if anyone noticed if the playtest was same, or has been updated in the compiled version. I want to print out a copy, but thought I would wait to see if they made any changes.

thanks in advance for info,

Skornn

On the DND insider forum on of the WOTC guys said that they had a meeting and they were going to update the barbarian with changes they made for the complete Dragon 368 download. Unfortunately, in another thread, someone said that the complete download was an exact copy of the original artilce.

I cut and pasted both of them into text files and diffed them aginst one another. apart from some formatting changes, they're identical.

Not sure exactly, but the transition from pdf to plain text changed line breaks and spacing in places. If it was a straight cut and paste from the original to the compilation it should have been the same text as well. It might be something as simple as the original author and the compiler were using different versions of acrobat.

I can say for certain that the powers from level 1-10 were completely unchanged - I typed them out onto cards from the original when it came out, and compared to the "final" when it came out - no changes.

I can say for certain that the entire text of the article is unchanged.
