Riding skill has changed perhaps? I get a message that I'm improving when I fall off & it took me a lot less time to get to beginner then I remember from previous versions.

One thing I noticed while making some tweaks (ID average weapons/armor/ammo when pseudo'd) is that you now gain XP from your pet's kills. I'm not 100% sure when this change occurred, but I think it is post-Hengband.
Makes summons builds a lot more viable.
Also, here is a list of spell changes between Hengband and Poschengband (for the "normal" spell realms):

2-Cause Medium Wounds > Fasting (sustained; while hungry has a small chance to restore XP or a drained stat)
3-Day of the Dove (mass charm) > Sustaining (temp sustain stats, # based on level)
3-Cause Critical Wounds > Cure Mutation
3-Alter Reality > Transcendance (damage dealt to SP instead of HP)
Sorcery
2-Mass Sleep > Mass Stasis (more powerful)
