other than the obvious new ending for hernanado's hideaway could someone list the other changes made for the current revival version?

I believe they added a song for Hienes entitled "Me, Myself, and I" (I'm not familiar with the original though)

"Are you sorry for civilization? I am sorry for it too." ~Coast of Utopia: Shipwreck

They added "The Three of Us" for Hines, at the end of the show, replacing, I believe, the Jealousy Ballet.

"Steam Heat" was given to Mae, instead of Gladys.

"If You Win, You Lose" was added, for Babe, and orchestrated as a duet between her and Sid, who joined for a reprise of "Hey There."

Besides actual changes in the content, the design here is a bit more colorful, cartoony if you will, than the original where the factory looked like a factory and the park looked like a park. Here, vibrant colors are added and cartoony elements are put into the set.

The softened the character of Prez by making one subtle change to the lyrics of "Her Is". Originally he sang "My wife, she ain't understanding...", meaning his flings with Gladys and Mae were adulterous. In this new version he sings "My Ma, she ain't understanding", so he is now just a nerdy mamma's boy.
