In the patch note, it announced that BMG just fixed a bug, if you read the screenshot you'll see what it is but it's basically:

before this patch, the roles at the end of a voting phase are in the order of the role priority of each player.

For example, if there a Doctor and Serial Killer left and they both vote for somoene who is on trial, if it appears as:

Player 1 voted innocent

Player 2 voted innocent

Player 1 would be the Doctor and Player 2 would be the Serial Killer, since Player 1 appeared first and Doctor has a higher priority.

Putting this even further, if there was a Transporter, Escort, Doctor, Investigator, Serial Killer and Amnesiac, and they all voted for someone who was on trial, say the votes appeared as:

Player 1 voted innocent

Player 2 voted innocent

Player 3 voted innocent

Player 4 voted innocent

Player 5 voted innocent

Player 6 voted innocent

Player 1 would be the Transporter, Player 2 would be the Escort, Player 3 would be the Doctor, Player 4 would be the Investigator, Player 5 would be the Serial Killer and Player 6 would be the Amnesiac.

So before this patch, you could tell EVERYONE'S role if you had information about what roles are in game (and if they have different priorities, you wouldn't be able to tell the difference.)

But of course nobody would have picked up on such a subtle (but deadly) bug, I'm surprised user PeteMailer actually noticed it, and he's pretty much a genius.
