The contents look good in general!

Some minor corrections :
---
1. EditorToolbar does not need to be uninstalled any more. It can be
hidden from View menu.

2. The help really is loading faster, the code was improved.
 There is even a blog about it : http://lazarus-dev.blogspot.fi/

3. Undo-function in form-designer does not "work better", it is a
whole new feature in 1.4. It did not exist in earlier releases. It is
one of the coolest improvements IMO. Earlier if you worked on a
complex layout of components inside a Panel and then deleted the panel
by accident, there was no way to get it back. Now there is!

You could also mention the Checkbox boolean editor in OI, usability
improvements in many IDE windows including the ComponentList
(Ctrl-Alt-P), reworked TEditButton + derivatives, and TCoolbar  and
TControlbar components which is now "ready".
