The Highlights page at 
http://www.erights.org/download/0-8-30/highlights.html explains some other 
changes:

The previously deprecated Miranda method "__yourself/0" is now gone.

We've reserved the keyword "delicate".

We've changed the experimental syntax for property access from foo.bar to 
foo::bar, in order to have foo.bar instead be experimental syntax for 
currying the message selector, in order to cheaply create a 
one-selector-facet on an object. Neither of these are an official part of 
the language, but there are pragma-controlled switches you can enable to 
play with these.

These are all more fully explained on the Highlights page.
