This is taken directly from EN World. It concerns the 3.5 changes to races -
* Races with racial weapons now have automatic Weapon Familiarity with those weapons. This means that the character can treat the weapon as if it were on the Martial Weapon list, rather than the Exotic Weapon list. Note that the character must still have martial weapon proficiency to use the weapon without penalty. This applies to:
- Orcs (NOT half-orcs): Orc Double Axe
- Dwarves: Dwarven waraxe, dwarven ugrosh
- Gnomes: gnome hooked hammer
* Dwarves get a +4 stability bonus against being bull-rushed or tripped; dwarves retain their full movement rate (20’) in medium or heavy armor.
* Gnomes now get +1 DC to illusion spell’s saving throws, and have favored class: Bard. Gnome spell-like abilities are now based on Charisma.
* Half-Elves now get +2 on all Diplomacy and Gather Information checks.
* Halflings aren't innately proficient with slings, though they will get a +1 bonus to attacks with slings and thrown weapons.
* Elves get automatic proficiency with both longsword and rapier (in addition to all bows).

Here are some snippets taken from EN World on the changes to 3.5 spells -
* Burning Hands now has a cone area of effect rather than a semicircular emanation.
*Call Lightning’s casting time is 1 Round and it lasts 1 minute/level. You can call 1 bolt/round that does 3d6 Damage, if there is already a storm the bolts do 3d10 damage.
* Entangle: There is no longer an Attack or Dex penalty to entangled characters (at least not in the spell description) and the caster no longer needs to make a concentrate check to maintain the Entangle while casting.
* Teleport is limited to 100 miles/level.
* Tenser's transformation in 3.5 simply grants the character a BAB equal to her character level, regardless of the class levels she might have. It also grants +4 enhancement to Str, Dex, and Con, +4 natural armor bonus, +5 competence bonus on Fort saves, and proficiency with all simple and martial weapons.
* Horrid wilting is down to 1d6/level, max 20d6 (or d8/level vs. water elementals and plant creatures).
There are other minor changes, to numerous to list here.
