Route finding update
they've implemented an improvement to route-finding. This should improve the playability of the game in laggy situations.
THey fixed when you click to move somewhere, your character would occasionally run in the wrong direction for a few steps before turning around and going to the point you actually selected.
They had to move the route-finding calculation onto their servers, so that the route is always calculated from the correct spot.
Other updates

-In Other News...-
-To mark the end of the Dorgeshuun quest series, we’re releasing a limited-edition zip-up hoodie on the Jagex store. It’s a limited run of only 2,000, so click here to get yours now!
-If you’re logged in to RuneScape and navigate away from the game screen, you will now have to click on a confirmation box to confirm that you want to navigate away from the page. This is to make sure that you don’t accidentally lose your game window.
-Stupid update.( my opinion...)We've made a couple of changes to the party room due to concerns about abuse by real-world traders. Firstly, drop parties are now available only on two worlds (131 and 152). Secondly, players must now enter their bank PIN (if they have one) before putting items into the drop chest. We're sorry we have to do this, but we can't let real-world traders ruin the party.
-We've added a wave-counter interface that will pop up at the start of each round in the TzHaar fight caves. This means you should now find it much easier to track which wave you're on.
-Male ogres have been graphically reworked and improved to bring them in line with the recently-updated female ogres.
-Players will no longer increase their drop-value potential on PvP worlds if they repeatedly cast the basic strike spells.
-We've reduced the likelihood of your getting Random Events if you're burning incense in your house, or if you're in building mode. We've also reduced the likelihood that you’ll get Random Events in the Chaos Tunnels and on the Dorgesh-Kaan agility course.
-Email registration for new accounts is now optional, although we would still advise you to enter your email address when registering, so that we can help you if you need to recover your password.
