I saw the new DLC is out. Is there a list of changes to the base game? I looked on Steam and here, but couldn't find it.

The linear campaign system, player side auto-deploy and database editor scaling are probably the most important, feature wise.

Thanks and the database font scaling is a godsend. It was killing my eyes.

Why do Infantry HQ teams deploy so far from units? All my Infantry HQs deployed 1-3 km behind infantry units. Well outside of HQ radius. Shouldn't a HQ be in the centre of a company/group of platoons?

Great update, particularly the UI Scaling in the editor.
New DLC was a nice bonus.

Database editor now scales with resolution you have selected, so letter are bigger and easier to read. There is also a ton of new labels and hints, so it easier to use overall.

As for HQ, well the auto deployment is not yet perfect, and the primary goal was to make game setting easier and faster as units are not all clustered on the zone edge.

I saw the same happen for enemy for long time, though. Infantry HQs would be way behind.
IMO they need to be distributed to provide good command coverage to infantry and indirect fire units.

How realistic is that we see linear campaign(s) in AB sequel ?

Very certain. This is just a test-bed, we will expand linear campaigns with additional features to become integral part of the game next to dynamic campaigns.

Do linear campaigns allow pre-selected forces for missions?
