Not much. It contains the new /usr/bin/gnumed shell script.
The prerequisites checking has been improved to list all of
them in one run, and more concisely, too.

How easy is it to move a package from experimental to
unstable ?  If it is nothing more than the uploader deciding
where to place it and re-upload to unstable when she sees
fit then I would suggest this:

- build 0.4.0 debs
- upload to experimental
- wait the remaining 9 days for 0.3.12 to move to testing
- then re-upload 0.4.then-x to unstable

This way, people will "auto-get" the latest, very-stable 0.3
and can then decide whether to put the 0.3 package on hold
for a while for 10 more days.

Otherwise I would just wait the 9 days before uploading
0.4.x.

That will give you a few more days to work on the 0.4
packages, BTW ;-)

I do but the screenshot feature is (intended to be)

a) a debugging tool and
b) our poor-man's printout generator ;-)

(I have personally admitted a patient to the hospital with
 a screenshot printout of recent lab results :-))
