The exact touch, mouse, and controller changes in the August 20 patch.

Version 2.1 adds direct zoom and continuous controller adjustment to Where Winds Meet Build Mode. Touchscreens use two-finger pinch-to-zoom, while mouse users can zoom with the scroll wheel.

InputVersion 2.1 behavior
TouchscreenTwo-finger pinch-to-zoom in Free Camera and Bird's-Eye Camera
MouseScroll-wheel zoom in Free Camera and Bird's-Eye Camera
ControllerHold LB or RB for continuous camera adjustment and building rotation

The patch changes Build Mode specifically. It does not state that LB/RB now behaves the same way in combat, exploration, or other menus.

Related Homestead change

The same update improves the Retainer dispatch candidate list in the Homestead so status is easier to read. That is a display and selection improvement, not a change to the published dispatch reward rules.
