Interesting, when thinking about the people in the groups that this has happened to there are a couple people who frequently use different devices.
"bug fixes and addresses a problem where ringtones..."
It contains other bug fixes, one of which is the ringtone problem.
The note states "This release includes bug fixes AND addresses a problem where ringtones.............."
So I would say yes it fixes other things as well.
Whenever Apple releases new iOS builds, I always come here first and read through the comments to see if anyone's phone has been bricked because of it.
It's kind of sad that's what I have to do now to guarantee I won't lose a day of productivity while I wait for a workaround, or another patch to fix the patch.

Well, given that the last two updates nearly bricked my phone (I had to do a full restore from backup - hmmm, should I check for non-Apple songs?), I'll be cautious about updating again in the future. (Dear Apple, you broke my trust in you).
You're missing the point. I have no problems w/ them fixing the issues and I'm aware that no software is perfect.
I've never even heard about this issues and I hang around Apple-related forums and websites quite a bit. However, I and many others have a ridiculously long laundry list of iOS 8 bugs that haven't even been addressed. How about all the crashing? My 6 Plus many times can't even switch from one Safari tab to the next without the last one reloading when you go back. I don't even remember my original iPhone with 128MB of RAM being that bad. Furthermore there are tons of other glitches, like white text overlaying the black status bar text sometimes, rotating video glitches on the Plus, problems with reachability not activating (sometimes it just stops for several minutes and then works fine), or reachability not even working with quick reply which means I can't reach the send button, or the Touch ID dialog screen sometimes freezes up the phone with a dark overlay that makes it impossible to touch anything, or iCloud Photo Library that has never worked, or the shoddy WiFi issues on the Air 2, or problems with slow-mo videos sometimes not recording in slow-mo, or that my share sheets sometimes still lose the order I've set the icons to, and several other things that I can't even recall at the moment. My iPhone 5 on iOS 7 was much better (software-wise) than my iPhone 6 Plus on iOS 8. Otherwise the 6 Plus has a gorgeous display, amazing camera, and looks really great.
Sames here. I went through the iTunes process and listed the problem as "could not be found" and they immediately sent it as an available download. Glad it's fixed!
Damn, they just can't get iOS 8 right at all. Just imagine next year (software year) when iOS 9 comes out.
It just takes time...and lots of point releases - any time you have a complicated OS getting serious functionality updates. Just before 9 comes out 8 should be in pretty good shape.
Back when there was only OS X, I'd wait close to a year with every release for things to get "fixed" before upgrading and avoid most of the pain.
That said, I'd be very much in favor of a Snow Leopard (only fixes) type release for iOS.
I haven't experienced this issue exactly but something I find to be similar. I would encourage you and any participants in your group chat to make sure that new iMessage conversations are started from the same phone number (or email) on all of their devices. (Settings > Messages > Send & Receive)
I was having 2 separate conversation windows going with my friend until I had him change this. I chose to send messages to his phone number and if he replied it would stay phone number to phone number. But if he started the conversation it would come from his email to my phone number, thus creating a separate chat window.
It's sadder that you apparently think you shouldn't have to do that, for a device important to your workflow.
Well then what's the point of even having Macrumors at all if we're not going to believe anything on it?
Why are you here? To read things just so you can not believe them?
If you're updating through iTunes, you get the full OS download, every time. Updating on an iPad mini, it's under 20MB.
