For the documented changes, please see Haem's excellent post. My only problem with it is a disagreement about the listed Food Fight Pinata Party dates and reward drop probabilities. For my view on this subject, see this blog post.

Here I am going to list the undocumented changes, in no particular order. Most of them were too minor and technical, which is probably Haem didn't bother mentioning them.

  • The daily rewards of the Calendar for November have been changed, as explained in this blog post. We'll be getting 5 gems less and 200 coins more.

  • The Calendar tabs can now have themes. Themes for the following events have been defined:

    • Food Fight
    • Feastivus
    • Lunar New Year
    • Valenbrainz
  • The Shop layout has been changed. There is now an Events tab and the Upgrades tab is gone. Instead, now the available upgrades can be found on the Resources tab.

  • Penny's Pursuit Far Future Day 11 has been re-defined as a Last Stand level (from a normal one).

  • Inferno cannot push back the black zombie turkey boss.

During the period Dec 18, 2021 till Jan 02, 2020, the Calendar will feature a Feastivus tab with the following rewards:

The Feastivus pinata will contain seeds for 3 plants, 5 seeds each, picked randomly (and with equal probability) from the following set: Snapdragon, Chomper, Electric Currant, Snow Pea, Jack O'Lantern.

The December Calendar reward are pretty much the same as the (nerfed) November rewards, except that instead of getting 5,000 coins on Day 30, we'll be getting 2,000 coins on Day 30 and 4,000 coins on Day 31 – which is basically equivalent to getting the old rewards and 1,000 on Day 31, but is made to look as the rewards aren't decreasing at the end.

The following Pinata Parties have been scheduled during the Food Fight event. There are 15 of them, while the event is 14 days, so it is possible that the last one won't be used.

Note: In version 9.3.1 of the game, PopCap has continued the multi-month trend of nerfing the rewards provided by the game – especially the gem rewards. The rewards of the monthly Calendar for November were changed to drop even fewer gems than before. In the table below I have stricken out the rewards provided by version 9.2.1 and have added the ones in version 9.3.1, so that the reduction is clearly visible. In short, we'll be getting 5 gems less and 200 coins more.

The computer that I use to reverse-engineer the game (the one that has the Android emulator and all the tools and scripts I use for reverse-engineering it) broke down. It might be a couple of weeks before it is repaired – or longer, if I have to buy a new one and re-install everything there. There will be no updates during this time. I apologize for the inconvenience.
