Some of the major changes are:
- Support for hardware accelerated framework: VDPAU only for the moment
- OpenGl filters (only Qt4/mac & linux)
- Support for more scripting languages: Spidermonkey, TinyPy and QtScript

Avidemux in Ubuntu Software Center is quite outdated and to install the new version, you will need to the the GetDeb repository. After that you can run the following commands in terminal for the update:
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install avidemux2.6
