Copypasta from http://www.asio4all.com:

The GUI changed somewhat, but almost everything will be just about where it used to be. You'll find your way 'round! W is gone since soon he will be indeed.
Add system tray access to control panel and status indicator.
Control panel now remembers its screen position.
Workaround for IDT HD Audio driver registering WaveRT interface under XP.
Un-blacklisted STHDA for sample rates above 48kHz. Out on probation now.
Workaround for WaveRT event mode seemingly still broken in WOW64, even after Vista 64 SP1.
Improve WaveRT performance in Vista.
Add host application interface, giving developers the option to control ASIO4ALL configuration from inside their application.
And, once again: More minor improvements, most of which mainly serve to increase fault tolerance, others may change the world as we know it, but, alas, over time I had forgotten which ones and in what way exactly.
