Hi Martin, most of the things I mentioned in the announcement. To appreciate it I think you have to study 'lmer' as well (defeat your laziness!;). One thing I didn't mention is the possibility to fit a model at a fixed value of the standard deviation of the random effects. Utilising that, it is easy to create a profile likelihood (as a function of sigma), which can be very helpful in certain cases.
