Yes, that is what I meant.

you cannot exceed 2 followers per tile in this way.

You can add more, using effects outside of the Jubilee Expansion (i. e. an actual Crop Circle)

Ooops! My sleepy brain tricked me and I read in this tile... My bad.

Since 2015 

Tell Bertie to show up. We have double-sized tiles, magic portals, crop circles and double turns in the base game now...

And multiple scorings during your turn at unspecified moments that may interfere with robbers and messages... and sending a meeple to Carcassonne.

This is gonna be total fun! Picture an abbot and a meeple sharing a monastery, or placing the abbot multiple times on the same monastery and scoring it partially... Or creating a castle with multiple meeples...  Shall we discuss ringmasters bonus when a ringmaster is placed on the double-sized river source tile? What about multiple meeples on a watchtower tile sharing the same feature? Will be be threatened with the Prime Directive?

double-meeple symbol = instead of normal placement, you can place a follower next to one of your followers already in play. (just like crop circles) you cannot exceed 2 followers per tile in this way.

As far as I understood this part of the rules, the limit imposed is that you cannot place more than two meeples together in this way. That is, you cannot group 3 o more meeples in this way. However, the rules do not imply this affects the whole tile.

So you may have one meeple placed directly and another one placed by a symbol tile. Then you could add another meeple next to each meeple with other symbol tiles, ending up with 4 meeples on a tile in this case.

It depends on what we consider the River in Big Box 6 is. It is the same as River I included in the base game but featuring an expansion symbol. Is that enough to consider it C2 River III? I would say no.

Regarding the new expansionn, I guess the arrows in the tiles indicate the action affect ot is triggered by the placement of an adjacent tile. Please pay attention to the arrows...

One other thing: Did you notice the back of the tiles in the picture? They haven't changed... So backward compatibility is ensured.

Now the river start tile is a double-sized one, double-sized tiles have gone mainstream. Any complaints about one tile but 2 spaces?

Johanes (HiG) was very king about double tiles. Now we know why

Yes, they seem to have been discussing double-sized tiles for a while... But still nees to solve some issues.

What do you think? Those cities are very full of houses, aren't they?

Yes indeed... City segments are bursting with houses... An overpopulation problem all of a sudden?

Ooooooh! In the picture you can see some tiles of the new mini expansion featuring blue arrows with meeples or squares in them...

Placing two meeples? Rotating meeples? Extra tile draws? Any hints?

Well well well...

Here we have an issue: a new river tile river part of the base game with road and city segments and four fields ... A ringmaster placed on it should receive bonus points during scoring, right?

You can have a look at the rules here, just in case:

The CAR was last updated in May 2015. It is frozen in time since then.

For example, German Cathedrals or The Labyrinth are not included... Or any clarifications from 10/2015 or later, of couse.

In this case (scoring fields with barns) is almost okay, but you have to read pages 65 and 66, or you will be misled as @ny1050220 pointed out.

Both pages contain a scoring summary covering all cases (cities, castles, pigs, pig-herd) except sieges, which were omitted. However, you may find the full picture in pages 212 and 214.

When creating WICA, we used all the info contained in the CAR and tried to polish some outstanding issues, like this one (or the interaction of the dragon and the school, that wasn't consistent across the document).

You can find a summary of the scoring of fields with and without barns here:

https://wikicarpedia.com/index.php/Abbey_and_the_Mayor#Scoring_summary

Little Buildlings are not considered in these summary (or Markets of Leipzig since they apply only to fields at the end of the game and not barns).

And yes, barns can be used for good... or for bad.
