The main player-facing feature is the addition of the Sit Out Timebank. This was created based off player feedback in posts here at 2+2 like this one:

For now, this will only be applied to our 7 Day No Rat Hole tables. If we see it's a successful idea, we will apply it to all tables.
We are allowing the players to police things like table camping by having a button available by the nameplate when a player is sitting out.
• When a player sits out, he can sit out indefinitely. However, if a player presses the “Call Time on Seat” button, a timer will begin.
• If a player doesn’t sit in during that period of time, he is removed from the table and unable to return to that table until 30 minutes have passed.
• If the player does return before the time expires, he may resume normal play. As he plays hands, he will be replenishing his sit out time bank.
• Any logged in player may press the button. (It’s not necessary to be seated at the table.)
We may change these settings after player feedback; however, here are the current default settings:
Sit out timebank: 8 minutes
Waiting time to return to table after sit out time bank expires: 30 minutes
Replenish rate: 5 seconds is added every hand you are dealt
