some commentary from the monster corner...
had a good look at the table of contents for the new MM... well, at least the first half of it that was on that site.

doesn't look like a whole bunch was changed.
mostly additions were comprised of either variations of creature types already in the original book (bralani eladrin, dread wraith, gauth beholder), or what looks to be examples of monsters with character levels (aboleth mage, frost giant jarl, hound archon hero), and some refugees from books already in print like the manual of the planes (githyanki, githzerai, inevitables).
also, of note, the celestials appear to be separated out into separate sections, as they should have been all along: archon, eladrin, guardinal, and the celestials formerly known as "aasimon" will apparently now be known as angels.
