Maya 2014 docs What's New
Been having a read through some things. Things jumping out at me so far: Node metadata, create camera from view, incremental save (numeric incrementer), modelling toolset, edit edge flow.
Haha... preserve normals when freezing transformations, that's always been a minor nuisance.

Node editor improvements look good.
Nice... filter for attributes in the Attribute Spreadsheet, no scrolling back and forth forever trying to find that one attribute.
Back, Left, Bottom ortho cameras from the panel menu.
I know there's been some good scripts for this already, but having a built-in grease pencil looks nice.
The bend deformer works in degrees now... that's a bit more intuitive.
And they've actually given some attention to paint effects, that's pretty surprising.
Skip existing rendered frames could be handy, I guess, but I doubt I'd ever use it.
Ooohh... I don't know if this is what I think it is, but there's a new -perframe flag for batch rendering with mental ray.
John, does this make your script obsolete?If mental ray does not render your animation correctly, use this flag to re-translate the frames from scratch. This feature is only available for batch rendering.
