Since v25:
Cutting initial blockchain download time in half, encrypting p2p communications, making lightning safer and cheaper to use, allow immediate bootstrap with assumeutxo, shipped better miniscript and descriptors support, easier compilation with cmake, fixed a bunch of CVEs that have been present since a long time, complete obfuscation of on-chain data, better coin selection, the mining interface for easy home mining with stratumv2, better and safer localnet hole punching with natpmp and pcp, and a whole bunch more.
