While searching mods, I added a few during my search:
1) All avatars are now clickable. This leads you to your profile.
2) The memberlist now features your avatars.
3) You can now change how many posts/pages will show up in a particular thread or board. This is accessible in "Look and layout preferences".
4) If you are one of the two people that use the SMF default (Core) theme, there's a new feature called "UserCP". It's a pretty cool profile area. It won't work on the other themes.
