full changelog: (
http://thewitcher.com/public/files/download/Version2.0.pdf)
noteable changes:
* Numerous improvements have been made in the targeting system.
* Parrying is now unlimited (even when Vigor is completely depleted), though parries no longer cancel all damage (maximum 50% reduction once the relevant ability has been acquired).
* Responsiveness of game controls has been improved. This includes but is not limited to casting Signs, parrying, and attacking immediately after evading an opponent‟s assault.
* Geralt‟s attacks are no longer interrupted by attacking opponents. Attacks are now contiguous and foes cannot interrupt Geralt‟s attacks by landing a blow.
* Assorted fixes now prevent opponents from incessantly attacking Geralt after he has been knocked down. Geralt can no longer be knocked down repeatedly in quick succession. Also, he rises quickly while evading subsequent attacks.
* Geralt no longer attacks opponents located behind other opponents positioned nearer to him.
* The target locking system has been improved. Preference is now given to previously highlighted targets.
* Target selection has been improved. Priority is now given to foes affected by a critical effect facilitating the completion of a finishing move.
*
The additional two steps Geralt took after mounting an attack with the W, S, A or D key depressed have been eliminated. * Attacks can now be continued even when a key controlling Geralt‟s movement (e.g. W, S, A, D) is depressed.
* Attacks can now be continued if the attack key is depressed immediately after the final strike of an attack animation sequence.
* Geralt can now pivot 180 degrees immediately after completing an attack.
* Assorted problems with key responsiveness have been resolved. Keys no longer need to be depressed twice or more to trigger a given action.
* A distance attack problem has been resolved. Geralt now mounts distance attacks (lunge with sword in hand in the Fast style) when opponents were located at a suitable distance from him.
and so on and so on....awesome changes, I like it

I don't see any point where it says "fixed the godawful inventory screen to not be a counter-intuitive, inefficient mess."
Sad times ;(

as long as it does not say: will cost you $ xxx for 3 new hats only I am ok with it.
I am more concerned about Geralt no longer being interrupted by enemy attacks. That would be a complete nerf.

The Witcher 2: Assassins of Kings Enhanced Edition Announced!
Game ch-ch-ch-changer!
GOG.com is pleased as punch to announce that The Witcher 2: Assassins of Kings Enhanced Edition, developed by sister company CD Projekt RED, will be coming to PC on the 17th of April! Just like when CDP RED updated the original Witcher to The Witcher: Enhanced Edition, this comes with scads of upgrades and extras for you to enjoy. The good news is that anyone who owns The Witcher 2: Assassins of Kings before the 17th will receive the upgrade to the Enhanced Edition for free!
In celebration, we're offering The Witcher 2 on sale for 15% off, starting now, for the next two weeks.
In case you didn't hear the news from CDP RED, let's go over what's new and awesome about the Enhanced Edition:
New major adventures set in new locations. These consist of an underground system of chambers beneath Loc Muine and a temperate coniferous forest in the Loc Muine mountains, and a secret cave passage. These new adventures will add several hours of story-based gameplay to the game.
New major characters to the Witcher story. One of them is Brigida Papebrock Dame. This noble woman comes from the Temerian family Papebrock and is a 30 year old lady-in-waiting of the Temerian court. The other characters are secret--for now!
All new animations and cut scenes, including a new, three and a half minute pre-rendered cinematic depicting the assassination of King Demavend of Aedirn. BAFTA Award winner and Academy Award nominee Tomasz Baginski brings this key historical event to life, setting the stage for the story told in The Witcher 2.
GOG.com will also be adding the Witcher comic book to our list of goodies on the 17th as a free gift to everyone who owns the Witcher 2; further, there will be a new game map, game guide, manual, and soundtrack available in your free goodies on that day as well.
The Witcher 2 is already a game that has won--in scientific notation--a gazillion awards. Come this April 17th, it's going to get even better!

Points missed by your post:-
-New panels navigation bar
-A more intuitive and responsive control system

It's good to hear that they will be fleshing out Loc Muine a bit more - this should make chapter 3 a lot more satisfying.

Oddly only 270,000 sold via digital distribution (40,000 through GOG specifically).
With even the regular boxed version so full of various feelies, are you surprised?
