Compare rendering of text, and circles.. they should be smooth and
anti-aliased. The default grid is now a mesh, not dots. The component
selector lists attributes in the symbols you are browsing through, and
the multi-attrib editor will show them too (in grey).  Plus, hopefully
the icons in the menus etc...

If you don't see those things, you're not running 1.5.x. Did you
definitely have your search paths set to pick up the new version?

Nothing has changed too much in terms of interface though.
