Here is a detailed list of what is new on this version of FTM 2010.

Tree Management
Ancestry.com Family Tree Download
You can now download your online Ancestry.com trees directly into Family Tree Maker and either start a new tree or merge it into your current file. The downloaded tree will include the facts, images associated with the online tree and a link to the attached source records.
Enhanced File Statistics
You can view new statistical information about your tree, including the average life span of individuals in your tree, the earliest birth date, and the most recent birth date.

Data Entry
Enhanced Family View
Improvements to the People workspace allow you to see more information about individuals in the pedigree view as well as information about the parents of the selected couple.
Ability to Quickly Add Facts on Person Tab
When adding facts to an individual on the Person tab, you now have the ability to quickly add basic facts (such as Birth, Marriage, and Death) from a drop-down list. The drop-down list will include any facts you’ve custom added to the editing panel on the Family tab.
Enhanced Editing of Relationships
A new relationship window gives easy access to relationship facts, notes, and media items.
Saved History List
Previously, when you closed the program, you would lose the history list that showed which sources, media items, or individuals you had. Now the history of your changes and additions is saved even after the program has been closed.


Sourcing
Replacing Source Citations
Source citations can be replaced by an existing source citation—without losing any links to individuals or media items.

Tools
More Robust Relationship Calculator
The Relationship Calculator now has the ability to display multiple relationships for an individual (for example when cousins marry).
Global Spell-Check
An enhanced spell-check will look for spelling errors in all facts.


Charts, Reports, and Books
Family Group Sheet Redesign
The Family Group Sheet has been redesigned and has improved image support.
Genealogy Report Improvements
The wording of the Register and Ahnentafel reports now have a more narrative feel.
Kinship Report Lists Multiple Relationships
The Kinship report now lists every relationship for an individual. For example, if cousins marry, their relationships as spouses and cousins will be included.
Sources in Charts
You can now include source information with a chart; sources are numbered and displayed at the end of the chart.
Export and Delete Individuals from Charts
You can select a group of individuals in a chart and then export them as a separate tree or delete them as a group.
Include or Exclude Non-preferred Events in Charts and Reports
You can choose whether to include or exclude non-preferred facts from charts and reports.
Shortened Place Names
You can enter your own brief place names to use in reports and charts.
Book-Building Improvements
You can change the order in which items in your book appear by dragging and dropping them in the book outline; you can also use duplicate names for book items.


Media
Scanner Support
You can scan images directly into Family Tree Maker.
Slide Show
Create slide show presentations using images you’ve included in your tree. (The slide show can be viewed in Windows Media Player).
Work with Media Items as a Group
Select multiple media items at the same time; choose categories for media items as a group.

Maps and Locations
GPS/Latitude-Longitude Support
In the Places workspace you can access and modify GPS coordinates. You can also select your own locations on the map and store their GPS coordinates.
Migration Maps
Show the locations of an individual’s life events on a map. Or choose multiple individuals and show all the locations linked to an entire family. (You can select the specific individuals to include and the specific events you want mapped.)

Web Dashboard
Shows the latest news and information about Family Tree Maker and Ancestry.com

My first review of FTM 2010 shows that it opens and runs much, much faster than previous versions. I am a happy FTM user and really like FTM's search integration. I also like the flexibility of the user interface.
