Besides replacing the old style half bushings
4265a Technic Bush 1/2 Type I

with the new ones
4265c Technic Bush 1/2 Type III

the only major change is the way you manually turn the pulley wheels. In the original set, you used these pieces:
4185 Technic Wedge Belt Wheel
4274 Technic Pin 1/2
424 Technic Handle

The new one simplifies things using the new short pin piece:
4185 Technic Wedge Belt Wheel
32002 Technic Pin 3/4

The manual that comes in the set is a reprint of the original set, including the older pieces. There is also an additional sheet that shows which instruction numbers use the new pieces.

So yes, you get pneumatic cylinders with bricks for bottoms.

Ok, you just listed the differences between the original 8460 and the first re-release, 8431. I wanted to know if the second re-release 8438 differs from 8431. Thanks anyway.
