Around 2.1 a new directive was added to the to the realmlist.wtf, the current use of this directive is unknown, but it's believed to be added to support the [[Blizzard_Launcher|Blizzard Launcher's]] latest feature to notify you of new patches, the launcher itself connects to us.version.worldofwarcraft.com and gets a file called PatchSequenceFile.txt this file seem to contain a update path for the game, and the launcher.

Post-2.1, the Patchlist directive now also supports the [[PTR|Public Test Realm]] Clients, and updates those as nessecary, as such the file now have additional contents. There is also support for the background downloader although it is hard to say when this was added.
