A new modern user interface with improved scrolling and agility when switching between Ribbon tabs.
Online archive support for searching Exchange (online or on-premises) archived mail.
Master Category List support and enhancements delivering access to category lists (name and color) and sync between Mac, Windows and OWA clients.
Office 365 push email support for real-time email delivery.
Faster first-run and email download experience with improved Exchange Web Services syncing.
Office 365 consumer subscribers can get this update by going to their My Account page, while commercial users can acquire it via their Office 365 Portal.

Microsoft says they typically release a new version of Office for Mac roughly six to eight months after Office for Windows, but things have changed after the release of Office 365, as the company wants to prioritize “mobile first and cloud first scenarios”, meaning faster and more constant support for iOS, Android and Windows Phone smartphones and tablet applications.
