I hadn't looked for a while (i.e. since August) and have just spotted a couple of new categories:
Royal Hospital Chelsea (1260 items)
Early Irish Maps from State Papers c1558 - c1610 (69 items)
There are a few ups/downs in the pre-existing categories - mostly in single figures of change - including an additional 1,144 records for Poor Law Union Correspondence up from 5022 to 6166 items.

Royal Hospital Chelsea (1260 items)
You can search and download selected volumes of soldiers’ service records from the Royal Hospital Chelsea. This is the main series of service documents of soldiers (but not officers) who became either in- or out-pensioners of the Royal Hospital Chelsea. The attestation and discharge documents within it constitute the most detailed record of a soldier’s service.
You can search by:
* First name
* Last name
* Service number
* Place of birth
The records usually give particulars of age, birthplace, service (including any decorations), physical description, previous occupation on enlistment and the reason for discharge to pension. Documents after 1883 usually contain fuller particulars, such as next of kin and details of marriage and children.

These maps are among the best known and most frequently consulted maps in The National Archives. You can search and download more than 60 different maps depicting plantations, fortifications and townships in Ireland during the reigns of Elizabeth I and James I. They are among the earliest cartographic representations of Ireland and include the famous map of Hibernia drawn by John Goghe in 1567 (catalogue reference MPF 1/68).
These maps come from the ‘State Papers Ireland’, the main record of government business in the early modern period.
