The code base for mod_jk2 is a complete re-write. mod_jk2 has greatly improved support for connecting to Tomcat via JNI (most useful for multi-threaded servers like IIS/Apache-2/iPlanet), and also supports using Unix-sockets. The request mapping (e.g. deciding if Tomcat or Apache handles the request) has been optimized (although I'm not certain if this is in the Beta, or only the CVS at the moment). This is important for sites where you would have a large number of JkMount directives with the older mod_jk. There are plans to add more hot-config options (e.g. deploying a new webapp w/o having to re-start Apache).
