After a quick run my first impression is that it seems remarkably faster than the M10 build. The Ruby editor is somewhat snappier and less reluctant. It is actually really nice to work with. More or less on par with the speed of a native windows application - and possibly getting even better before the RC and final version.

The welcome and splash screens have been updated:

As well as the it's icon:

But those are some of the least interesting of the changes. See the full change list here:
