I wasn't able to find any definitive guide to the new features in the upcoming Lion 10.7.2 update.
I know Mission Control space re-ordering should be there, but is there any list yet?

10.7.2 is not yet released. It is covered under an NDA. Those testing it cannot legally answer this question. They would be the only group that would have any reliable information for you. – cksum Sep 25 '11 at 23:13
Oh wow. I didn't know about the NDA. Is posting release notes (found below) legal then? – Dan Abramov Sep 25 '11 at 23:18
Not to point out the obvious, but there is a reason why that site is called Mac Rumours. This is off-topic per the FAQ and is now closed. – Philip Regan Sep 25 '11 at 23:46

According to MacRumours, these are the release notes included with 11C62 build:

The 10.7.2 update is recommended for all OS X Lion users and includes general operating system fixes that improve the stability, compatibility, and security of your Mac. It also includes support for iCloud, a breakthrough set of free cloud services that automatically and wirelessly store your content on iCloud and push it to all of your devices. iCloud on OS X Lion includes the following features:

  • iCloud stores your email, calendars, contacts, Safari bookmarks, and Safari Reading List and automatically pushes them to all your devices.
  • Back to My Mac provides remote access to your Mac from another Mac anywhere on the Internet.
  • Find My Mac helps find a missing Mac by locating it on a map and allows you to remotely lock the Mac or wipe all its data.

Getting started with iCloud is easy. After installing the update, OS X will automatically present an iCloud setup panel. Simply enter an existing Apple ID or create a new one and then follow the on screen instructions. To learn more about iCloud visit http://www.apple.com/icloud.

The 10.7.2 update also includes Safari 5.1.1 as well as fixes that:

  • Allow reordering of desktop spaces and full screen apps in Mission Control.
  • Enable dragging files between desktop spaces and full screen apps.
  • Address an issue that causes the menu bar to not appear in full screen apps.
  • Improve the compatibility of Google contact syncing in Address Book.
  • Address an issue that causes Keynote to become temporarily unresponsive.
