some other changes which are quite important

1. prior departure: one change (other than time/date), e.g., re-route allowed at no charge [in the past i believe unlimited change permitted]

2. AA upgrade only with mile (not e-upgrade), but this only impact MONE* fares. since you cannot e-upgraed J to P anyway.

3. only 2 extra segment allowed (in the past i think it was unlimited?).
for leisure traveller this is important: [but this is not new] if you have an AONE*, you can purchase your extra segment at M for $150. i.e. you can pick a segment to fly in M for 150$/400$
so, in NA, you will find a 3-class flight and pay 400 to get into D/J (same quality as F anyway)

4. as others already pointed out. transcont restriction for OZ added; transcont for NA defined; intercont gateway rules defined; europe 'longhaul' defined...mostly against mileage runner ....

again, thanks to fewmiles and exmo!
