• Bind on Pickup items that only you can pick up (Heroic Badges for instance) will no longer bring up a confirmation dialogue.
  
• Players
  can now opt out of looting for group loot, round robin and need before
  greed looting styles. If a player turns this on, they will not get a
  looting turn in the loot cycle. This can be turned on from the
  right-click menu on your own portrait.
  
• In Master Loot mode, all players in the group will see
  sparkles on corpses that have loot above the master loot threshold.
  This lets everyone see what the master loot items are, though they
  cannot interact with them. Only the master looter can loot those items
  still.
  
• The names over the heads of nearby players who are on your
  friends list will appear in a different color now so you can tell when

• Stacked items for sale at the auction house now display the per unit price and per unit buyout price in the item mouseover.
  
• The
  profession UI search field has been improved and now allows for
  searching of more types of things. For instance you can search for
  items by socket color, by effect ("Critical Strike" for instance) or
  search gems by their effect ("Strength" for instance). In addition, the
  searching of items by level has been made more intuitive. You can now
  search for items by level with "15-20" to search for items that you can
  make that have a minimum level required of 15 to 20.
  
• The Tooltip for player Dodge/Block/Parry in the character sheet has been changed slightly.
  
• Optimized particle system rendering for improved frame rates.
  
• The casting bar will now display properly when casting Blizzard (mage) or Rain of Fire (warlock) with spell haste.
  
• For additional notes on Lua and XML changes please visit the UI & Macros Forum.
