Anyone mind to point out the difference? It could be my eyes, but I can't seem to make out any differences.

Endplates on the front wing seem to have an extra, angled vertical element.

the upper pic is the new version
so the second deck front flap is wider towards the outside by at least one inch ,the endplate of this flap is aerfoil shaped ,whereas the old one was rectangular
and the spoon shaped middlesection of the wing has much less camber ,is flatter...

Thanks Blackout for clarification. You did it before me :D. So I edited my previous post and marked which photo is old, and which is new design. Sorry, it was my fault.
