There are some other pieces which have changed. Another one which is
used in <set: 6846>, which could affect some sets is the 7x8 wedge
shaped plate with notches. I do notice that the two types of these that
I have have different part numbers. The one used in 6846 is <part:
4475>, it has a 3x4+1x2 notch cut out of it. The other version is <part:
6104> which has a 2x4+1x2 notch cut out of it.
Ok, question, how many people hadn't noticed this difference? I noticed
it when I first started to get more than one or two of these pieces, and
happened to stick two different ones on top of each other, and noticed
that the notch didn't line up.
Another part which has changed, and I think affects some constructions
is <part: 4085> Plate 1 x 1 with Clip Vertical. The clip is slightly
larger now.
Also, I seem to remember some mention of <part: 3839> Plate 1 x 2 with
Handles changing, where the rods used to be centered on the height of
the plate, and now they are below the height of the plate. Yep - here's
a reference:

In fact, if you poke around that thread a bit, there is discussion of
other parts which have changed.
