Font:SetJustifyV("justifyV") - Sets vertical justification ("TOP","BOTTOM", or "MIDDLE")
Font:SetShadowColor(r,g,b,a) - Sets the shadow color.
Font:SetShadowOffset(x,y) - Sets the shadow offset.
Font:SetSpacing(spacing) - Sets the font spacing.
Font:SetTextColor(r,g,b,a) - Sets the font's color.
* All LayoutFrames have these NEW methods:
numPoints = LayoutFrame:GetNumPoints() - Return the number of anchor points for the frame.
point, relativeTo, relativePoint, xofs, yofs = LayoutFrame:GetPoint(index) - Return the details of the specified anchor point.
* The following methods moved to be supported by all layout frames:
bottom = LayoutFrame:GetBottom() - Get the bottom edge of the frame.
x,y = LayoutFrame:GetCenter() - Get the center coordinate of the frame.
left = LayoutFrame:GetLeft() - Get the left edge of the frame.
right = LayoutFrame:GetRight() - Get the right edge of the frame.
top = LayoutFrame:GetTop() - Get the top edge of the frame.
parent = LayoutFrame:GetParent() - Get the parent for this frame.
LayoutFrame:SetParent(parent or "parentName") - Set the parent for this frame.
alpha = LayoutFrame:GetAlpha() - Get the alpha level of this frame.
LayoutFrame:SetAllPoints(frame or "frameName") - Set all anchors on this frame to match specified frame's edges.
* All Regions (Texture, FontString) have these NEW methods
layer = Region:GetDrawLayer() - Get the draw layer for the Region.
Region:SetDrawLayer("layer") - Set the draw layer for the Region.
* Frames (and derivatives) have these NEW methods:
fontString = Frame:CreateFontString(["name"[, "layer"]]) - Create a new FontString as a child of this Frame.
texture = Frame:Texture(["name"[, "layer"]]) - Create a new Texture as a child of this Frame.
numRegions = Frame:GetNumRegions() - Return the number of Regions that are children of this frame.
a,b,c,d,... = Frame:GetRegions() - Return the regions of the frame.
* FontString now includes the following methods (see Font changes for details): GetAlpha, GetFontObject, GetJustifyH, GetJustifyV, GetShadowColor, GetShadowOffset, GetSpacing, SetFontObject, SetShadowColor, SetShadowOffset, SetSpacing

font = Button:GetHighlightFontObject() - Return the font object for the Button when highlighted.
Button:SetTextFontObject([font]) - Set the font object from which to get settings for this Button's normal state.
Button:SetDisabledFontObject([font]) - Set the font object for settings when disabled.
Button:SetHighlightFontObject([font]) - Set the font object for settings when highlighted.
Also the SetNormalTexture, SetDisabledTexture, SetPushedTexture, and SetHighlightTexture methods now take either a texture file path, or a Texture object.
(This section isn't yet complete, because it's taking me ages to write up all of the changes, i'll be back!)
