NuGet Gallery will now display the list of license names for a package in addition to simply providing a link to the license text. The big idea behind this feature is that it will aid in the decision making process over whether or not to use a package. More details here.
New user registration workflow has been simplified with this deployment. Going forward, users don't have to confirm email for signing in. Email comfirmation can be done anytime before uploading a package.
The package versions will be normalized in the package display page. For example, for a package with version "1.0", the version will be displayed as "1.0.0". The normalized version will be displayed in the "Verify package details" page while uploading a new package. This avoids the issue where packages with version "1.1" and "1.1.0" co-exists in the Gallery.

The nuget.org API (V2) feed now exposes the top downloaded packages (over the last 6 weeks). This can accessed be via url nuget.org/api/v2/stats/downloads. At this time, the top 500 packages are shown by default and that is also the maximum number returned.
You can limit the numbers of results using ?count in the query string. For example, nuget.org/api/v2/stats/downloads?count=10 would return the top 10 downloaded packages in last 6 weeks - with information like download count, gallery url and feed url for that package.
The default and maximum count of 500 might change over time, so we recommend always specifying a count parameter if you are programmatically consuming this data.
The Statistics page now shows the numeric rank of the package (based on the download count).
