So, as most of you know, Rockstar released a patch out of the blue today. We're still unsure of every aspect changed with this, but at the moment it doesn't seem like a big deal whatsoever.
Feel free to comment any information, thoughts, etc regarding this update!
Patch Version (According to PKG/Game): 1.27
Patch Version (According to Rockstar): 1.36
Patch Notes
- Necessary updates to support changes in server architecture.
What does this mean? We're unsure if the changes were really as simple and minor as they put it, or there's some extra patches/preventions implemented against cheating. So far, it seems to uneffect modding.

Conclusions
Did the EBOOT change? Yes.
Did the update.rpf change? Yes.
Did TOC, pointers, addresses, offsets, etc change? Some.
Do mods (menus, tools, etc) need to be updated? Not as far as I can tell.
It appears that only EBOOTs will need to be updated (and possibly update.rpf's, but those are extremely easy).
