A general description is here.
Rcmd sets many more enviroment variables, including all those
set by R CMD under a Unix-alike which make sense on Windows.
Rcmd now follows a similar strategy to R when finding a valid
TMPDIR setting: it tries TMPDIR, TMP, TEMP and R_USER looking
for a directory -- the last will succeed as it does for R.
Rcmd has a new utility open.exe to open files via their file
associations.
Rcmd Rd2dvi now opens .dvi and .pdf files via their file
associations (if set -- MiKTeX sets 'yap' for .dvi).
Rcmd check now checks the latex of any package vignettes if
texi2dvi (presumably from MiKTeX) is found on the path.
Package checking (including 'make check') is no longer done in a
C locale but in the current locale (although LANGUAGE=en is
used).
Rterm --ess sets stdout to be unbuffered, as it would be for
output to a terminal.
windows() gains a new argument 'clickToConfirm', default TRUE,
which controls if new-frame confirmation is done via clicking
(or ENTER) on the window (the recent default) or via a
question in the console (the default for other interactive
devices). The non-default behaviour may be useful when R is
driven indirectly (e.g. via ESS) and for some Rterm users.

Rproxy.dll is no longer part of the R distribution: it has been replaced by CRAN package rscproxy.
