The first thing you will notice that is different is that when you first start the software, there are only 2 tabs visible 

and that the manual command bar is missing. ( it now has it's own tab )

Notice there are a few more settings available.

There are now places to enter separate Step Angle, Gear Ratio and Worm Wheel values for each axis.

The Step Angle and Gear ratio can now be entered with a decimal number.

For instance, the original Synta Gear Ratio is 131.876:1.  This will provide much greater tracking and goto accuracy.

There is also a slider bar to set the mounts Ramp Rate Goto's and Slews over 16X

Also new from this view is that the Local Sidereal Time is displayed but more on this later.
