The GUI looks basically the same but one feature caught my eye.
The metronome has been updated from a simple tick-tock time keeper to a full drum kit that can be instantly saved as a track which is smart enough to adjust it's tempo to what your project is set to. You can also specify it to play half-time, normal or double-time . . . pretty cool stuff!

Yes its nice and it can handle more complex signatures like 12/8 Where you have the option of how to count it.
The Chord track has an Assistant that will statistically recommend next chords.
It uses the same audio to MIDI libraries from Z-Plane that BIAB uses, but it is extremely straightforward and easy to use.
The GUI, believe it or not, was almost completely redone with dozens and dozens of subtle changes to improve workflow.
It has nice Fender modeled Amp Simulators for both Guitar and Bass.
