* If a ship that is being targeted, and cloaks, the lock will now guarantee the uncloak effect occurs.
* Bookmark copying is now limited to 5 bookmarks at a time. Attempting to copy more than 5 bookmarks will result in only 5 being copied.
What what?
The cloaking fix is the first part of a larger fix that will be coming in the near future.
The limitation on bookmark copying is to prevent some players from exploiting game mechanics to lag opponents or crash nodes by copying insane amounts of bookmarks.
I wasn't aware cloaking needed fixing  
So to prevent some individuals exploiting you're making it all but impossible for people to transfer bookmarks to each other?

For the love of god please wait for CCP to clarify the Covert ops thing before you lose your freaking minds.
The patchnotes and Kieron's reply seem pretty clear to me

About the cloaking issue. There has been a little in house misunderstanding. The problem is that the way cloaking works now is that if you are being targetted but aren't locked you can cloak but the lock attempt isn't broken so when you're locked you get uncloaked but there is a bug where the uncloaking visual effect isn't performed so you happily think you're still cloaked.
The fix in the patch notes and the one Kieron mentioned fixes the issue of not seeing you uncloak. However cloaks didn't use to work this way, if nobody had you locked when you cloaked, all locking attempts were broken and you stayed happily cloaked. That is the way it supposed to work and we'll be restoring it back the way it was.
I don't really know when that will happen though. It was really news to me that this "wasn't a bug" until this morning so I've been talking to other devs and bughunters about this.

The only question is; how long until cloaking returns to normal?
