The main features introduced are:
* TDD actions similar to those available in the Eclipse Java Development Tools (i.e.: create class, method, field, module with Ctrl+1 quick fixes);
* Code-coverage support has improved a lot (note that it relies on having the coverage module from http://nedbatchelder.com/code/coverage/ installed).

Unfortunately I couldn't be at PyCon to represent PyDev this year -- where there was a panel on Python IDEs -- so, at least I got to do a video with the presentation I'd do there :)
Another nice thing is that PyDev won the “Best Developer Tool” award from the Eclipse Foundation!
