edit a pattern, double-click the pattern in the Swatches panel or select the object containing the pattern, and choose Object > Pattern > Edit
Pattern. When you create or edit a pattern, you enter the pattern editing mode, similar to the symbol editing mode. You can use the Pattern
Options panel to modify the settings of the pattern, and preview your modifications in real time.

Gradient on a stroke
The gradient on a stroke feature provides you with three types of gradients to apply to a stroke. You no longer have to expand a stroke to fill it, and
then apply a gradient to it. Apply a gradient to a stroke using the Gradient panel (Window > Gradient):
Within: Behaves as if the stroke has been expanded to a filled object with a gradient
Along: The gradient is applied along the length of the stroke.
Across: The gradient is applied across the width of the stroke.
For more information, view the video on applying gradients to a stroke, by Lynda.com.

Image Trace
The workflow to vectorize a raster image now produces much cleaner tracings. The output has fewer paths and anchor points, and better color
recognition than the Live Trace feature in previous versions.
For more information on the new Image Trace workflow, read this article, or watch this video by Lynda.com.
Gaussian Blur
The new Gaussian Blur effect (Effect > Blur > Gaussian Blur) is speedy and efficient. Select the Preview checkbox to view the Gaussian Blur
applied to your artwork, in real time.
New or improved profiles and components
Use the improved profiles and additional component libraries to get a quick start on your art projects:
A new profile named Devices has been introduced in the New Document dialog box (File > New). The new profile contains
presets for the iPad, iPhone, Xoom, Fire, Nook, and Galaxy devices.
The Web profile has a new default size (960px x 560px).
