Changes: Presentation only: original HTML markup reflowed into plain text; wording, numbering and source repetitions retained. No repetitions expanded.
Completeness: ABBREVIATED. Every source-unit character is preserved, including introductions, notes and verse structure. Thanissaro's collection-level note explicitly states that repetitions were cut: https://www.dhammatalks.org/suttas/about.html. This is evidence about the translation method, not an assertion that every individual unit contains an omission; no repetitions reconstructed.

Just as a fine thoroughbred steed stumbling, regains its stance, feeling all the more urgency, & draws its burden undaunted. In the same way, remember me: consummate in vision, a disciple of the Rightly Self-awakened One, the Awakened One's thoroughbred child, his son.
