There's a whole bunch of work elsewhere including improved PC Speaker emulation, support multiselect (with Shift/Ctrl keys) in the Launcher, an improved help system and various improvements to other game engines and games as they noted in the announcement:

Regarding improvements to specific engines and games, the notable changes are: music support to Atari ST releases of Elvira 1, Elvira 2, I, and MIDI music for Ripley's Believe It or Not!: The Riddle of Master Lu. After intensive testing, we improved the overall stability of Hodj'n'Podj, Might and Magic: Book One - Secret of the Inner Sanctum, Myst III: Exile, Pilots Brothers 3D and 3D-2, The Lost Files of Sherlock Holmes: Case of the Rose Tattoo, Nathan's Second Chance, Broken Sword II: The Smoking Mirror, Discworld 1 and numerous WAGE engine-based games.

For the platform-specific fixes, Broken Sword 1 plays better on big-endian systems such as PS3, Wii, and OSXPPC. The Atari port has some handcrafted optimizations in the SCUMM engine. On iOS, we now support Text-to-Speech, and there is better support for external MIDI devices.
