Changes not described in the release notes include:

The Kindle Previewer is now a 64-bit application. On the PC platform it requires Windows 8.1 or later. It is no longer compatible with Windows 7.

It now supports SVG images that contain text in Enhanced Typesetting (KFX format). Previously that would block KFX conversion. Now the text is rasterized, poorly.

The "float" CSS property now supports the value "snap-block". I do not understand it fully yet, but it seems to allow improved text flow around images. More info at W3C CSS Page Floats.
Oh, Sweet Baby Jesus. I foresee headaches in my future when someone who can't spell HTML reads that!

I think I feel a migraine starting.
