Looks like they finally made some improvements to booleans and bevelling; let's see if it's any good.

I am just satisfied with the progressive rendering. IPR is nice but going unified and stepping into this is better. I wish they integrated more straightening options natively into the UV tools. The fluid stuff is an upgrade but I rarely even use Realflow for anything. Binding and removing manifold errors is a big upgrade. Putting passes on the GPU is also a nice switch. They did this for 2014 though and I dont know why they put it in again as an upgrade.

It's been a while and the non-Autodesk training (meaning Lynda and Digital Tutors) for Maya 2015 so far are only about the basics of Maya. They only delve into what's new for maybe a chapter if that much.
