What's new with Service Pack 1
New & improved installer (with flashy images while installing :))
User Generated Content (aka Community Builder) is integrated into the platform
Translation Manager is also integrated into the platform, and now includes support for both World Server and Translation Management System
Content Manager Changes
Grouping of items in CM calls - You can now read multiple items from the database with a single TOM.NET or CoreService call, instead of having to retrieve them individually.
Description fields are now included in GetItems and GetListItems calls, not requiring you to load the full objects before reading this property.
New "Ancestors" calls: You can get the whole hierarchy of "parent" items with one simple call: GetAncestors or GetListAncestors
Content Delivery Changes
The Content Delivery layout is much simplified, so you don't have to pick-and-mix files from here and there. Instead there are 7 roles for Content Delivery that are pre-defined for you:
- API
- Cache Channel Service
- Content Deployer
- Monitoring
- User Generated Content
- HTTP Upload
- Content Delivery Web Service
There are a gazillion little changes more though, like showing breadcrumbs on items in Tridion, consistency of RTF behaviors across browsers, and quite a few fixes to other issues that have been fixed before.

You can't read items in bunches.
What you can do is to call GetList on an array of IDs and get all the properties you could normally get in a list.
Another addition is that you now have a precompiled CoreService client assembly that you could (should) use instaed of service reference.
Thanks Andrey, looks like I either misread the Release notes, or it's wrongly worded there.
Now that I have it installed I'll be able to find some other new stuff and I'll update this post.
