There are a whole lot of changes, and I can't remember them all because I'm too lazy to write a change log, but I remember these:

- New and improved media player:
--- Audio visualisation plugins
--- Media remote control toolbar

--- Supports OGG if you have the filters installed
--- Plugin SDK out soon

- Major network improvements:
--- New connection manager allows much better and more reliable control over your connections to Gnutella2 and Gnutella1
--- Serious search improvements which will become apparent when everyone upgrades
--- Better discovery system support, in good situations connects in 10 seconds or less
--- Set bandwidth limits per connection or for a whole type of connection

- Browse user improvements:
--- You can now browse virtual folders remotely! Very cool.
--- Now works with Gnucleus (I think)

- General search UI improvements:
--- Filtering results now works like it is supposed to again
--- You can now delete search results by pressing DEL
--- Easy access Browse button

--- Calculate average bitrate for OGGs instead of nominal bitrate

- General improvements:
--- More languages (note languages are still works in progress)
--- Monitor bar doesn't lose its position when minimised and connecting to networks
--- More colour defs in skin architecture for better control over some new areas
--- Plugin SDK out soon
