I have realized that, but still I want to find out the details.
I'm quite sure there are new, renamed or moved menu choices, for instance
for the new book window and PDF functions, and some changes to dialogs
(new options or buttons?). 
There can also be changes to filters, maker.ini options, etc.

It's a real disservice to FM users if Adobe has decided not to compile
or distribute detailed information about new and changed features.
As an example, the new numbering building blocks cannot be entirely
self-explanatory, and must affect 5.5 to 6.0 migration, and this should
really be described in the FM6 documentation!

Perhaps new features/menus/dialogs etc. are pointed out when they're
described in the FM 6.0 User Guide?
