Important things I can recall: claimed speed and stabity upgrade, ice and scene tools for accessing performance, Lagoa (it's not real flow but it is good for simulating a few splashes here and there), polygonizer, strands are really usable for hair and fur specially if you can render them outside mental ray, there is syflex in ice, a slightly more accessible interface to ice through some menus and... I guess that is that for the purposes you describe. Anything important I am missing?
