This list is probably not comprehensive, but as a result of a major overhaul of the u-he plugin engine and of a lot of effort put into improving the user experience,
* factory presets were replaced with all new bank by Howard Scarr
* it's now compatible to MacOS X 10.5 Leopard
* presets load way faster
* user interface opens almost instantly
* a "compact install" for Muse Receptor compatibility was added to Windows installer
* a factory bank of oscillator module presets was added (also by Howard Scarr)
* gui consistency was improved (i.e. renamed some parameters, too long texts get shortened to fit)
* that infamous MSEG bug is fixed (single trigger MSEG may have caused deadlock)
* the Preset Manager remembers name & location of loaded patch, saved with song
* the editor window opens in the state where you last closed it (doesn't/can't save with song though)
* global parameters such as FX Returns are available in modulation matrix
* smoother ModWheel, Breath Controller, Expression and PitchBend
* speaking of PitchBend, ranges can be set to 0 now to free the Wheel for other tasks
* MidiLearn now requires a conscious decision for a menu entry - preventing users from accidentally Teaching a parameter
* Preset scripting was improved so that 3rd party waveform converters are fully supported (still no decent documentation for scripting though)
* a bug in the reverb diffusion on SSE2 machines got wiped out - if that changes your sound, set "D-Feedb" to 0.00
* the Preset Manager can now be used to create new folders and refresh the directory listing (right/ctrl-click)
* .h2p is now default patch format - set to native to save patches for use within host applications (usually not necessary)
* text rendering quality on Windows was improved
* there's no more need for Microsoft Runtime Libraries on Windows (finally!)
* one can now import patches made with the Computer Music edition of Zebra aka ZebraCM
* number of voices can be set to 0 in an Arpeggiator step, making this step a "skip"
* and more...
