New Icons for Ubuntu Software Center, Nautilus, Software Updater , *some 
launcher icons like the BFB icon* (the Launcher icon that's used to open 
Dash), *or the workspace switcher* (the new icon should change depending 
on which workspace is currently being utilised).

The new Ubuntu 13.04 wallpaper which is just a slightly modified version 
of the previous default wallpaper. The new wallpaper / icons have not 
landed in Ubuntu 13.04 yet and are subject to change.

The same update has brought refreshed Launcher tile assets and the 
removal of the 32px minimum Launcher icon size limit.

Some new options were added in /System Settings > Appearance > 
Behaviour/ tab: "Add show desktop icon to the launcher" and "Enable 
workspaces".

And some older changes include:

 *

   Bigger, chameleonic overlay shortcuts (the shortcut hints displayed
   on the Unity launcher icons which show up when holding the Super key);

 *

   Spread improvements such as a selected window outline, better window
   titlebar and also, the Spread now works properly with all window
   themes;

 *

   Improved Dash Previews design (and the previews are a lot faster now
   by the way);

 *

   The workspace switcher has a new icon which is dynamic, meaning that
   the current active desktop is represented by the workspace switcher
   icon;

 *

   New lens icons;

 *

   Overlay scrollbars for Dash.

Unity has also received many bug fixes and under-the-hood changes and of 
course, more improvements are expected until the final release.
