As in all distributions, new versions always bring considerable improvements in some tools, some of which I will describe below:

Support deltarpm
For users of slow internet connection, this is the best news since the deltarpm is just a package with the difference to the existing version that can be updated, so the user will download just a smaller package with what has changed and so save bandwidth. Therefore, it is necessary that the user has the package "old" machine is made for the addition of the "patch". Link (In English)
