Glad to see some development! To rephrase an earlier question: Are there any improvements that XP owners will benefit from in this release?
To me there is some hassle involved in upgrading from (the already quite well-functioning, thank you! beta 18, so I rather have a reason for it other than "no problem". 
EDIT: been testing it a bit now. Looks and feels good. Noticed three things.
Some silly error came up when starting by directly clicking the mp3ts.exe. After some quick thinking it turns out that earlier (beta16 or 17, I'd believe) I've had to have mp3ts to start in compatibility mode for 98, or it would give me an error. Obviously with this version that trick wouldn't work any more, but all the better since it is no longer necessary!
Get the feeling that the gui is a tad lighter, more modern. This is probably just my imagination, since the only thing I'm sure has changed is the black frame around the file explorer. Which btw did just fine.
Also, the file explorer defaults at "simple folder view", ie that only the active folder is open, the other ones folds back up when a new folder is picked. This behaviour is new, no? I'm not sure if I think this is a good thing. Is it, or will it be possible to turn this off? Choice is always good.
Other than that, it feels more robust and responsive than ever to use, but it's too early to say this for sure. Anyhow, all updates to this precious thing deserves , so I'm happy.
