This is marked as new in the rules: "17. Possession and Positioning 17.1. A receiver gains possession of the disc and becomes the thrower by demonstrating sustained contact and control of a non-spinning disc while they are in-bounds, AND WHEN THEIR FIRST POINT OF CONTACT WHILE STILL IN POSSESSION OF THE DISC IS NOT OUT-OF-BOUNDS."
I may be being thick here, but do I interpret this to mean two points of contact in bounds, or is the second part about catching in the air and landing with a point of contact in bounds?

In my opinion this is a change to rules: The old rule 404.11.3 was "When guarding the thrower, the marker cannot position his or her arms in such a manner as to restrict the thrower from pivoting".
