I think the answer to this is nothing. This, of course, is not true. The main change is with the latest RAW converter, which is at the heart of Lightroom. This now appears to be able deal with raw files from the latest series of cameras that produce raw images. This in itself is really quite an achievement. It has always been assumed that the best raw file conversion always took place using the manufacturer's proprietary software. The raw file is product of the software on the camera and the manufacturer should have the best idea how this should produce an RGB image . Third party products, such as Adobe Raw Converter (ARC) are always playing catch up, sometimes by reverse engineering the problem or paying a hefty fee to the camera manufacturer. Either way the ACR is a marvel of modern software development when you consider all the different cameras that are supported.
On final thing to mention when taking about RAW conversion. If you are series about entering any wildlife photographic competition do not, I repeat, DO NOT convert you RAW files to DNG. They are not accepted if you shot camera RAW as I found to my cost in the past. Such is life's rich tapestry.
