One is that it breaks the previous barrier that its components (radicals) are necessarily simplified, meaning that there is now a mixture of simplified and traditional components. Existing kanji remain as-is, but many of the additional 196 kanji have traditional components. This was intentional. Also, four of the kanji are outside JIS X 0208. They are in JIS X 0213. One of them maps to Extension B in Unicode, which is outside the BMP. My mapping table, which indicates their JIS codes, Unicode scalar values, and Adobe-Japan1-6 CIDs, is here: http://lundestudio.com/CJKV2E/joyo-kanji-revision-06072010.txt There are many things interesting about this Joyo Kanji revision.
