As stated here, my FreeJALduino board is also revised.
Hardware changes
The ICSP connector had to go. All required pins are available via Arduino connector so, you can still connect a Pickit 2 programmer using some wires. Easy. I've added an extra switch on RA4 pin (the LED on that pin had to go) for boot at reset time, a jumper to enable/disable the 10K pull-down resistor on this button in case you want to use RA4 on something else. The LED on RC2 pin remains and is used by the bootloader - you can use it on your application if needed, along with the boot (user) button.

Software changes
The bootloader is now the Microchip HID Bootloader. The old bootloader had a timeout of 10 seconds to enter in boot mode. With the HID bootloader you can enter in boot mode whenever you want and also, your application can start instantly - better for the final application. For the PC Uploader, which can be compiled for Windows, Linux and Mac, you have to download the legacy MLA from here..
