Probably the biggest change was that a pair of characters that became important to latter books in the series were "de-aged" from retirees to middle age.

They've done the same with several other books.
Yes, there are about 25 titled "Second editions", more usually with an additional author's afterword and/or additional material rather than updated text. Amazon shows 37 Baen Books Freebies.
