You can now have multiple grids with different properties.
You can mix reprojected grids and Lat/Long grids.
You can use standard QGIS symbology grid lines etc.
There is a new frame/annotations only grid style. Selecting this style causes only the frame and annotations to be drawn, with no grid lines or other markings over the map.
There are now options for controlling which side of a map item the frame is drawn on.
There are new tick styles for frames, with inner ticks, outer ticks and both inner and outer tick options.
We have made improvements to grid annotations, including many new formats for annotations.
Grid annotations now use the typographically correct prime and double prime symbols for grid annotations.
