Although the changes are numerous, Hyatt highlights the following.
• Better standards support: You'll find including fixes for positioning bugs, overflow bugs, floats, tables, gzip support, generated content using ::before and ::after, DHTML. You name it, we've improved it.
• Speed: We're still fast, and we're only going to get faster.
• CSS2 support: In addition to all of the bug fixes to be more standards-compliant, we also added support for CSS2 properties like text-shadow and new display values like inline-block. Try using text-shadow in conjunction with ::selection.
• Safari on Panther supports rgba values in CSS for specifying border, background, foreground and shadow colors.
• Support for the CSS3 opacity (using -khtml-opacity)

• A complete implementation of the XUL box model. Safari on Panther supports the complete XUL box model, including horizontal and vertical boxes, the ability to flex, and the ability to reorder content and reverse content. If you're building canned content that you control using WebKit, you'll find a whole new range of layout possibilities at your disposal. Need to create dynamically sized headers and footers and flexible center content? The XUL box model can do that. Need to centre an object within the viewport? The XUL box model can do that too.
Hyatt also reveals some details of what's been done since Safari 1.1, including support for the title attribute using tooltips; the ability to tab to all controls in a Web page and to manipulate them from the keyboard; support for table border collapsing; support for the CSS cursor property; small-caps support; fixes for first-letter and text-transform (the ugly doubling text effect is gone); fixes to first-line; speed improvements to DHTML; and support for scrolling content using <marquee> tags.
