The "Highlights" section of the announcement says:
  - increased performance in memory-constrained environments
  - reduced main memory and fixed disk requirements
  - Adobe Type Manager and IBM's core set of fonts
  - Procedures Language 2/REXX
  - Printer installation, performance, usability and device driver 
    enhancements
  - New Program Properties enable simplified application auto start 
   at boot time. 
 
The inclusion of REXX and ATM are problably the most significant items
in this list.  
 
I have the complete announcement I could email you if you want to read
all the (not very helpful) details.
