Because changes are not obvious, Bricsys ceo Erik De Keyser yesterday emailed me the list of new-to-10 features:
- Smooth view panning, independent of drawing size.
- Entities highlight when the cursor hovers over them.
- Hold down Shift+spacebar, and then click to cycle through overlapping entities.
- Hold down Shift to select multiple grips, and then move or copy them simultaneously.
- In 3D views, the z-axis tracking path is now available.
- The From entity snap lets users define offsets from existing points.
- Gradient hatches in nine patterns and one or two colors.
- Automatically-updating fields in mtext.
- Arc length dimensions.
- Draw rectangles by area, or length and width.
- Block Units for insertion in different units.

Any information on the OS X version? I'm looking forward to finally ditching the dual-boot and virtualization currently required to run AutoCAD / Bricscad.
