[Updated: it has been noted that, since the update reported here, there has been another 'silent' update and the 'hamburger'/top-left menu is now broken under Edge - so there's no access to Profile, Lists or Settings. 8-( Hopefully Twitter will get enough bug reports that whatever they've done server-side can be fixed promptly!!]
[Further update, this has now been fixed server-side.]
Here's the official changelog (though some items refer to UI actions not appropriate for Windows 10 Mobile):
New
- Accessibility: Focus rings on components will now display with the selected primary color.

- Multi-Account: Use multiple Twitter accounts? We’re rolling out improvements to the UI for managing and accessing all of your accounts!
Updated
- Accessibility: The GIF search gallery now provides accessibility labels for GIFs returned by searching. These labels will be read out by screen readers, providing additional context for search results.

As ever, I've been looking through the changes and doing some screenshots - not all changes are demonstrable/visible!:
There are a load of UI enhancements when adding and managing multiple Twitter profiles. I only have one(!), but here's how to add another anyway; (right) the main timeline view continues to be refined to look tidy and smooth. Note that all the stat controls are tappable.
When your birth date is set to 'Only you', it's also hidden when you look at your own profile, presumably as an anti-snooper privacy feature.
No, there's still no true DM 'push', and I'm not sure this will ever be possible under Windows 10 Mobile. But hey, once you're in the PWA it's becoming a fuller and fuller Twitter experience.
And, as per the screenshot above, right, if you're happy to accept input from other channels then you can be emailed or SMSed when you get a DM, for example, so there are still ways to be responsive in Twitter PWA under Edge and Windows 10 Mobile...
You can grab or update the Twitter PWA-ified UWP client here in the Store.
PS. As a reminder, this application now trumps third party options like Tweetium UWP because of recent Twitter changes which knocked push notifications on the head. Along these lines, see also my (older) general round-up of ways to access Twitter under Windows 10 Mobile.
