Spatial toolbox has arrived allowing access to a vast range of spatial functionality provided by through Open Modeling Services 3 components.

The GeoTools library provides access to more data formats than we have created customer wizards for. In the interests of encourage adopting and testing of new technologies we have created a “generic” GeoTools DataStore wizard allowing you to try out ... everything.
A couple of tools have been added for working with raster data:
The Export Wizard allows you to export new kinds of information from the uDig catalog for use in other applications.
These are export wizards available from the File ‣ Export menu.
The Import Wizard allows you to import new kinds of information into the uDig catalog for use.

This feature does not support WFS-T at this time.
You can turn on Tiled rendering (as an option in preferences). When combined with the new flicker free panning tool results in a nice sliding map experience.
The ArcSDE support has been rewritten from the ground up in collaboration between OpenGeo and Refractions. The new implementation is threaded allowing for a responsive user interface experience.
The rendering system has received a great many enhancements:
