Put me in the cynic camp....
"Authorization Improvements" are NOT a feature.
The group/bracket stuff seems more like bug-fix level stuff than real
advances. As does the cross-staff implementation, especially the
augmentation dots ('Enhanced default positioning' my arse, it's just
that it's now correct) And I definitely always saw vertical collision
issues as a problem with buggy software, rather than as a
feature-in-waiting.
"Enharmonic Spelling in Chromatically Transposed Parts". Ten quid says
it still screws up quarter-tones.
"Updated Playback Controls" - woo hoo! Lets party like it's Win 98!!
