Fly 5.5e 2024 vs. 5e 2014 edition differences

The 2024 version allows the fly speed to include hovering, whereas the 2014 version does not specify hovering. The 2024 version states "up to 10 minutes," but the duration remains the same. The higher-level casting effect is simplified to "You can target" instead of "you can target one additional creature."
