That html file (~200KB) can give you about the best idea of what all is there,
otherwise you will no doubt get a scattered representation if people say what is
in it.

There are too many to list here, but the biggest and most important 
ones(in my opinion, anyway) are:

Isosurfaces, which are shapes defined by an arbitrary equation.

Photon mapping, which simulates the way light bounces around the scene 
through refraction and reflection. This allows you to have real caustics 
and lenses which actually focus light.

Radiosity improvements. Many of the bugs and restrictions of the 
official version's radiosity have been removed, and the result is 
faster, better quality, and easier to use radiosity.

Media sampling methods. There are two additional ways of sampling media. 
These can give better results with fewer samples, which means better 
media with much faster rendering.

There is a (complete?) list here: http://nathan.kopp.com/patched.htm

What happens if you feed it specific equations ?
