The big new thing in Warsow 1.0 is the web-side profiles which shows stats, awards, friend lists, match history, and even demo download. There's also many other changes, including a huge amount of polish for those who are familiar with the older versions.
Here's a shorter version of the changelog:

- New duel and Bomb&Defuse maps (wdm11, wdm16, wdm17, wbomb6).
- All maps have gone through considerable optimizations!
Community features:
- Global statistics together with match result saving, demo downloads and skillrating (completely optional!).
- Improved community features such as built-in IRC client, in-game news and friends lists.
Engine:
- The engine now better utilizes GPU capabilities to render animated skeletal models, allowing massive battles without FPS drops.
- Drasticly improved map loading speeds and performance.
- New "e-sports" gfx features such as r_drawflat to give your own personalized wall and floor colours in any map and possibility to disable all colours from lightmaps.

drawflat is the best thing ever happened to esport
Looks really nice.
Haven't played it for way too long, it's about time to frag again! ;-)
It looks like a futuristic TF2 just from the video. Best thing about it though, NO HATS!
Looks real good guys, hope to try it soon.
Looks amazing and fun! Like a cross between TF2, TimeSplitters 2 and MNC.
Congrats on the 1.0 release :)
Seriously, YOU GUYS ROCK! Thanks for this awesome game!
