They’ve fixed around 8 of the 16 of the bugs (that I logged) that were present in the pre-RC1. A list of the bugs that were fixed between the pre-RC1 and this latest build are below:-

# Name Description
1 Dynamic changes to counter-increment?? Test Case
2 Children’s counter does not take into account the scope of the parent’s counter, resulting in incorrect incrementation. This issue goes against the self-nesting nature of counters, as defined in 12.5.1 Test Case Bug Ticket
3 Vertical scrollbar when using overflow:auto, and certain combinations of EM units for line-height and font-size for descendant elements Test Case Bug Ticket
4 Mispositioned borders and outlines on elements when parent element has a negative text-indent Test Case Bug Ticket
5 TABLE-displayed element (in normal flow) is rendered below preceeding floated element Test Case Bug Ticket
6 Expanded :hover (and clickable, if A element) area (caused by Padding) of inline element not honoured Test Case
7 Bullets or counters within a list (OL or UL, with rtl direction) are affected by the highlighting text within their immediate succeeding element Test Case Bug Ticket
8 Value of malformed width property is parsed Test Case

As you can see they’ve fixed quite a few bugs in this latest build, but the list of bugs in the IE8 Final Build is getting larger and larger by the day; this means its certain that IE8 will not be fully Level 2.1 compliant, as I’ve said before.
