Quote from Blizzard: (Source)
Protoss

 

  • The Protoss Phoenix has anti-gravity now and it is great at harassment, especially with more than one Phoenix in a pack. These harassment groups can easily lift workers and other strategic targets like Queens to be taken out while floating in the air.
    The Phoenix in the latest build uses energy (4 per second) when casting anti-gravity, thus the same Phoenix is not able to attack the target it is lifting with anti-gravity.
  • You can cloak your Mothership with your Dark Pylon's Null Shield.
    In this case, the enemy can't see anything in your base without a Detecting unit.


Zerg

  • Overlord has the Generating Creep ability after Lair and the Transport ability after researching at the Lair.
  • Overseer has Detecting ability as passive and Healing ability (by 200 hit points) on the biological unit or structure. and Overseer can spawn the Changeling.


Terran

  • In the current build, you can train SCVs at all three regardless of the upgrade.
    You can load SCVs up to 5 into Command Center and Planetary Fortress.
    Command Center and Orbital Command can be lifted off, but Planetary Fortress can't be lifted off.
    You can also load and unload SCVs while your Command Center is lifted off.
    No, you can't build SCVs while lifted off
    No, you can't downgrade the Command Center back.
