So i was reading the patch-note , and well…
So is this a case of “lost in translation” , or did the dev honestly buffed the range of this weapon ? even so the description imply the opposite .
NVM , after launching the game i can see that they removed the double range bonus at high speed . 
It seems to have been a typo in the patch notes. Base range was decreased I think and the doubled range buff was removed as you noted.

Double range completely removed.
Damage boost cancels if you strafe.
Base range was increased. However, with how people were using it feels like a major nerf to range.

Yes because strafing takes away from main forward/backward thrusters and factually reduces forward speed or reverse speed, respectively. Max speed is a requirement of the double damage bonus take to kick in and max speed (or max reverse speed) will be diminished by strafing. → Very good  No more: Invulnerable Dive.kill  from your behind rear out of the far away!

the mechanic of strafe removing forward buff has been in the frontal blaster for awhile.

After playing like 15 matches today, nothing changed. Just people added horizons.

This!
Better than nothing - think: it took them 2 official patches, + at least 1 ninja to come to this (like how long? 8 weeks?!
Now I’ll have the chance to react and defend myself!
Hey guys! How do you interpret this?

Developer comment: ‘We carefully monitor weapon statistics and noticed that some of them have become less widespread, so we decided to bring them closer to the level of popular guns’
Is it a textual glitch due to translation, or does it really mean that every kinetic weapon was globally increased in damage output by +10% ?
Is it a reference to [Kinetic Supercharger] (Interceptor:ECM)?

nope , my kinetic weapon deals the same damage.
the kinetic weapon is the default gun you get when you remove your weapon on fighter 
So basically, a buff to Assault Railgun Mk0?
Seems like it
