This update has the same description as Noto Sans:

This release:

• Removes the semibold masters
• Fixes style linking of the bold instances (Advent Pro Kerning Issue #476)
• Improves kerning for Slovak, Czech and Kamba (thanks to Yusuke Shirakihara)
• Fixes an issue with the right sidebearing of quadrupleprime (ayie #415)
• Improves the anchoring of U+1AC7 COMBINING INVERTED DOUBLE ARCH ABOVE (Fix polish locl from PLN to PLK #467)
• Corrects the width of U+2212 MINUS SIGN (Missing characters for Hong Kong in Google Font's Noto Sans TC subset #396)

but I realised that it has less changes (Noto Sans had a lot of modifications in devanagari, if you have the corresponding PR, I'll add it in the Noto Sans PR so we can track the changes better).

Otherwise, there are some interpolation issues remaining, and some of them should be corrected (lslash for instance).

Noto Serif doesn't include a Devanagari subset. (Noto Sans LGC shouldn't include a Devanagari subset, but workspace needed it in the distant past and now Google Fonts has to contain one for ever more. :-) ) That's why it's a smaller set of changes. lslash looks OK to me (better than the "proposed fix"), but germandbls should be fixed.

It seems to be working ok.

Would you like to modify it still? Other than that this LGTM

Ok, In that case, you would probably like to review the 2 aswell as the other kinks reported in the PDFs. And we'll wait for the update.
