From my reading of the diff, these are the main changes:

* Make the code more inclusive (e.g., change "sexual orientation" to
  "sexual identity and orientation").

* Clarify that the code applies not only to the "project" but also to
  the larger "community" surrounding it.

* Add multiple "examples of behavior that contributes to creating a
  positive environment," such as "gracefully accepting constructive
  criticism."

* Explicitly state that "project maintainers are responsible for
  clarifying the standards of acceptable behavior".

* Add "examples of representing a project or community", such as "using
  an official project e-mail address".

* Explicitly title each section to clarify the document structure.

* Instead of just the "maintainers", the "project team" as a whole is
  now also "obligated to maintain confidentiality with regard to the
  reporter of an incident."

These all seem like good improvements to me.  I think we should upgrade
to 1.4!
