Known changes

Added Passport Site IDs to URL (parameter 3).
Added Hotmail's Passport Site ID to new e-mail notifications.
Initial profile: Added Passport intergration fields.
Font information has been added to Switchboard MSGs.
Multiple error-codes unimplemented in 1.x that were in the draft are now implemented in the Official Client. Examples include: 208, 215, 501, 604 (bizzarely enough), 715 and finally 913.
Non-protocol: Client can now use non-hotmail domains in relevant places.
Non-protocol: WebTV 2.5+ clients (example@webtv.net) can talk to other users (example@hotmail.com)
More URL requests implemented (assumed)
Clear-Text Password (CTP) authentication method discontinued.
Entire content of initial email notification changed from text/x-msmsgsemailnotification to application/x-msmsgsinitialemailnotification, the format is likely different. Now includes unread email count. [Examination needed]
Official Client: Changed form that URL uses to login drastically. New format is undocumented, but now has MD5 creds instead of the plain-text passwd.
