In comparison to The Division's April Update that released the same day, the Destiny April Update had a fairly smooth release. Nearly a month after release, Bungie has decided to release and hot fix to address a number of issues that had been 'bugging' them.
The update doesn't bring any major updates to the game, however, it does bring some melee changes that will be toggled in the future.
In addition to the melee tweak, issues found in some quests, activities and items have been addressed. Hopefully these fixes will resolve any issues you had with Destiny's gameplay.

The following changes to the melee ability will be manually toggled on Tuesday, May 10th at 10AM Pacific.
