I have the new upgrade.  The principal change is that the computer now
uses and entirely new strategy, and doesn't win by cheating (outproducing)
on the higher levels.  There are also bug fixes, like the cmd-B bug
that turns your fighters into ground support demons, and airplane paths
don't change while scrolling.  The detroyers and subs and battleships are
stronger, while the carrier is weaker.  The world is smaller, there are
less cities, and the islands "have better shape".

That's most of it.  I think it is a much better game, now.
