Total rewrite of bower. The list bellow highlights the most important stuff. For a complete list of changes that this rewrite and release brings please read: https://github.com/bower/bower/wiki/Rewrite-state

Clear architecture and separation of concerns
Much much faster
--json output for all commands
--offline usage for all commands, except register
Proper install and update commands, similar to npm in behaviour
Named endpoints when installing, e.g. bower install backbone-amd=backbone#~1.0.0
New interactive conflict resolution strategy
Prevent human errors when using register
New home command, similar to npm
New cache list command
New prune command
Many many general bug fixes

Non-backwards compatible changes:

--map and --sources from the list command were removed, use --json instead
Programmatic usage changed, specially the commands interface

Users upgrading from bower-canary and bower@~0.x.x should do a bower cache clean. Additionally you may remove the ~/.bower folder manually since it's no longer used. On Windows the folder is located in AppData/bower.
