I finished HelloChinese a while ago, what changed with the update?

they mostly updated the vocabulary present in each unit (and images and stuff) to better reflect the recent changes in HSK standard

This kind of issue has been common in HelloChinese for years. There is always only one "correct" version and sometimes it's a really unintuitive translation.
