Ah! Sarcasm!  😆  Obviously you don't want any further detail - that's fine. 
Because it is really, really hard to write a few lines about which CTD's are cured isn't it?  

Let's all guess instead, and compare notes about years old flight sims and their patch notes.  That's a good game. 🙄

I acctually Like this way of Patch Notes. It is much more entertaining reading about all he things users THINK got fixed and those things that got BROKE.

"Several crashes have been fixed across the title"

They never say which ones!  😕  Surely if they have fixed them, they know what they have fixed. 

That's just a sentence put in their by their marketing department to appease those who always complain about CTDs.

I sincerely hope you're joking, because it isn't.

No, it isn't.

A crash was most definitely found, and identified, but it was deep in a not-very-interesting engine component which could be reached by a number of avenues. So, there's not really a way of saying "CTDs due to cause x" nor would anyone know what it meant if the specific system was noted in the release log.

Exactly!
I, too, fondly remember the comprehensive and detailed patch notes we regularly received in the past for the earlier flight simulators. 🙄

Don't we all. They stopped Walter Cronkite reading from his TV news script in 1981 when Flight Simulator expanded to 20 airports. They switched the cameras to Redmond, Washington and Bill Gates

It has to be a very good trick, because as I see it, the sim is as stable as never before. I think they do some good 😊 programming stuff between updates ✈️.

Well thanks for explaining that Matt.  In that case, I withdraw my previous comment about lack of detail in the patch notes. 
Sometimes it just takes an explanation like this to help the understanding of the situation, and that is what you have done.

update 1.30.12.0 broke my setup entirely. I wish they would give us the option not to be guinea pig testers.

Biggest issue is the brand new never before seen by me bandwidth message. Suddenly my 750gps internet connection is "too slow" and I have been booted off the server. Now the sim looks just about as good as MSFSX. Thanks again Microsoft!

Either a server issues on MSFS side. Had this happen today as well for maybe one minute. Or if consistent then check whether online data is still enabled in your settings as once in a while that may reset to offline after an update
