3. New permissions "draft" which let users only create draft-data (so you can review it before it's published) #1486 -
4. Adam also respects these permissions, so non-editers can also upload files (logos, images etc.) with new data #1487

6. New Razor-API to enable this

Total 30+ Improvements

Here are some more details + smaller things that make life easier:

1. New: @Edit.Enable(...) lets Razor views ensure that edit-js / context is available for non-editors, to then allow buttons like "new" for anonymous users #1522 see also wiki
2. New: @Edit.WrapContext(...) lets Razor views provide context information so that editing is possible for non-editors and more #1479 - this is for scenarios, where you want a different context inside a module; very advanced scenarios, don't worry if you don't get this one.
3. New: Permission Sets 
4. New: @Permissions.UserMay... API
5. New: File-picker (ADAM) can be configured to provide the url, instead of file:## syntax if desired #1497 (important for anonymous users, who can't resolve file-numbers)
6. New: $2sxc.cms.run #... which also returns  a promise, so you can show a message when an action completed #1521
7. New: $2sxc.context(...)
8. New: configure permissions at app level #1525
