The document discusses new features in MySQL 5.6 replication including:
1) Crash-safe slaves that store replication information in database tables to prevent data loss if slaves crash.
2) Multi-threaded slaves that improve performance by distributing the replication workload across multiple threads.
3) Time-delayed replication that allows replication to be delayed by a configurable number of seconds.
4) Optimized row-based replication that reduces the size of binary logs by only replicating changed columns where possible.
