What do we know about the update?

I'm sure i'm not the only one who's excited about the upcoming new leaf update, but i haven't heard much of what it will entail. What do we know so far? I have heard that all weeds will be removed for you upon updating, but that's not a huge deal. I also know about the villager RV thing.. is that just like the campsite but with an RV? I am a bit confused about it. Thanks!

I know of at least 5 new villagers so far - Ellie, Boyd, Hopkins, Ike and Vivian. Then there's the amiibo stuff that sosod1 talked about. and it looks like we're going to have the camera changed so instead of only being able to take screenshots, we will be able to take actual proper front facing pictures with up to 4 characters in them at a time

i know you can scan amiibo cards to get ppl to move in and you can get limited furniture

Apparently, we will somehow be able to bring in characters from splatoon by scanning their amiibo figures too. Not sure how that's going to work yet though.

i'm so excited for the update. i can't wait to see the line up of all the new villagers. i did see what i thought was a new NPC that may take care of the campsite in some screenshots that were posted, it was a cute looking hippie dog.
