There have been almost 570 commits since version 2.3.0 so the changes are simply too many to list individually. Some highlights:

• Massively refactor the core code and the interface to the checkers. Checkers are now objects in the core and many can be loaded per filetype simultaneously.
• Allow checkers to be chained together - see :help syntastic-checker-options.
• Add a param to :SyntasticCheck to allow a specific checker to be called.
• Don't clobber the location list by default - see :help syntastic_always_populate_loc_list to override this.
• Allow the error signs to be customised - see :help syntastic_error_symbol.

• Many new and updated checkers.
• Refactor most checkers to use a new system of makeprg generation. This allows users to override parts of the syntax checker shell command easily. See :help syntastic-config-makeprg.
