Russell, There is some documentation in the wiki [1] and JIRA [2] for this effort. The short/quick answer was introducing flatter design elements and vector based graphics to better promote responsiveness and address some of the more dated aspects of the 0.x UI. Additionally, relocating a number of controls to address concerns around multi-tenancy and prepare for other future enhancements.
Thanks!
