You're basically right. The latest update just ports over all the rest 
of the force field that hadn't been converted, more of the niche stuff 
that people had asked for. The only "major" difference is that the user 
has the ability to use the old C36 force field for proteins (not C36m, 
which is the default) through the #define mechanism. The nov2016 version 
used C36m by default, as does the jul2017 version, so there is actually 
no difference.
