1.? The power supply needs a decoupling capacitor across the battery.? You should solder an additional 10uF cap across the pins of the battery jack J1.
2.? The audio and key jacks are recessed by about a millimeter.? Normally this isn't a problem, but one my plugs fails to make good contact.? ?So, when soldering these jacks, please situate them as close as possible to the board edge.? The extra-large soldering pads give you some leeway.
I updated the builder's guide to reflect these two changes.
