So far two changes were made since the latest beta :

Black cross hair on the TV guided missiles

For those who haven't played the beta the TV HUD was changed from white to black but not the crosshair. So it wasn't really an improvement on maps like Dragon Valley. With the final patch the crosshair will be black too.

Widescreen FoV (Field of View) on widescreen resolutions
