The copyright line on the one I have is "(c) 2000, 2017, 2022" so the edition you mention must be the 2nd, not the 3rd.

Looking at the first position highlighted on Tim Chow's page: "Position 23: Robertie does not even mention GNU's top choice" (8/5(2) 6/3(2), best by 0.06), the book now writes: "Black should now play 8/5(2) 6/3(2)" (+ some justification why it is best in the position at hand while it isn't in the opening position).

I didn't check further but apparently there are indeed some corrections.
