Enhancements:

• Bloo Community - this one is pretty huge. Bloo Community is an extension SnapOn included in the core release that allows you to, on the fly, create sub-blogs off your main blog. Each sub-blog is a full-blow Bloo release, but entirely segregated from the content on your main blog. You can even open up things so that guests can request a sub-blog under your main blog (you have full control over accepting or rejecting that request, and also you can suspend or delete sub-blogs that don't behave).
• RSS caching and collection is now centralized and part of the core release. You can read more about this on the Bloo Wiki here
• Added About Me link to the Sidebar
• Provides for version checking on snapOns
• Cleaner error messages
• Created new Wrapper styles for themes - this gives more flexibility on how themes behave. 
• Removed some old core themes. So there are less themes delivered with Bloo, but the ones that were removed were pretty cr@ptastic anyway.
  
• Add more base themes for sidebar right, sidebar left, and three column. All Bloo themes at this point cascade from one of these three.
• Added the BlooWiki SnapOn to the release. Using this extension SnapOn, you can now easily turn your blog into a WIKI
• Fixed a problem with localhost login (for people testing Bloo locally)
• Fixed a problem with trackback and comments links when title permalinks are enabled.
• Improved the RSS Feed
• Fixed a problem with the FavoritePosts extension SnapOn that made it not work if permalinks not set to title
• Fixed a problem with Theme Preview - Stop Preview wasn't working
