Though not as much as before, their range is still greater when they are in a cart (tested in 1.1.0.1)

Win10 PC still an issue for 0.15.7. Will report back with Win 10 PC after the 0.15.90.* beta has ended.

On Samsung Galaxy S6 (SM-G920W8), Android 6.0.1 MCPE 0.15.90.2 the attack distance is in the range of 2 blocks. You can be at a distance where they cannot attack you, but you can attack them. Let me know if this is different for win10 edition.
