 From wikipedia:

The book includes several additional topics that are not covered in the 
current edition. New topics include

     * directed translation
     * new data flow analyses
     * parallel machines
     * JIT compiling
     * garbage collection
     * new case studies.

IMO, this *really* makes me want to go grab a copy.

Thanks for the heads-up Sean.

Harummph... I bought the Dragon Book earlier this year thinking that I was  
getting THAT book... At Amazon, they were advertising "new" chapters.   
After getting the book, I realized they were just referring to some  
partially complete chapters available for reviewing on the net.  I was  
really annoyed.  I really thought I was buying the new version of the  
book!  :(
