There have been few visible and some not-so-visible changes. On the visible side we have better visual feedback regarding the structure of a formula by showing the nesting by small purple decorations in the formula itself and by revealing the names of the nesting levels in the minibuffer. There is now native support for symbols from the wasy package containing e.g. the zodiac symbols. New is also the internal structure of font changes which are now proper "insets" as anything else from a square root to an array. This does not simplify the code greatly but also allows the same editing tricks as for the "regular" math. However, it was not possible to tweak the visible behaviour to mimic 1.2 in all cases, so this might take some time to get accustomed to. On the pro side, the new structure allowed implementing support for LaTeX's \mbox and \fbox and general "switching back to text mode within math", so a lot of "evil red text" trickery is not needed anymore.
