I hope the new Tau Codex gives riptides 20 wounds @ T8. 
And I hope stealth suits get -2 to incoming shots.

Nope. No wound change to riptide .
Riptide points down 24, HBC down 20, Ion Accelerator down 42.

Gun Drones +4
Shield Drones +2
Marker Drones same.

Broadside -20 HRR -27 HYMP -16 SMS-5
Skyray -19 Hammerhead -17


Is there any change in the weapon profiles (HBC, IA, HYMP, Ion Cannon, etc)?
afaik. no.
