Taken from the two reviews posted here on CPF.

Pre-production model specs:
* Luminus SST-50 of the highest flux bin
* 900 Lumens on high
* 2 Mode Groups: standard and tactical (standard: High + user set brightness) (tactical: High + strobe), Forward clicky
* Super-low = 20mA; High = 2.8A
* Reverse polarity protection
* Type III hard anodized 7075AL for durability and wear resistance
* Length: 185mm; Head diameter: 58mm; Body diameter: 31mm; Weight: 390g. (Extended tube excluded)
* 2*CR123A / 2*RCR123A / 2 x 16340 / 1x 18650 / 1 x 17670. 2*18650 2*17670
* Anti-shatter ultra clear lens with double-sided multilayer AR coating
* Overdischarge protection

Upgraded specs:
# World-class super bright Luminus SST-50 emitter
# Maximum of 950 emitter lumens on high (~700 OTF)
# 3 Output Levels and Strobe: (using 2 x 18650 batteries)
# High 900 Lumens / 1.4 hours
# Medium 520 Lumens / 3 hours
# Low 125 Lumens / 13.5 hours
# Strobe 900 lumens / 2 hours
# Cutting-edge reverse polarity protection
# Operating voltage between 2.7V to 8.4V
# Drive Current to LED:High 3A, Medium 1.5A, Low 750ma
# Mil-Spec Type III Hard Anodized
# Constructed of 7075AL for superior durability Length: 185mm; Head diameter: 58mm; Body diameter: 31mm; Weight: 390g. (Extended tube excluded)
# Tactical momentary-on forward click switch
# IPX-68 Water/Dust Resistane
# Tail cap design allows the light to tail stand
# Anti-shatter ultra clear lens with double-sided multilayer AR coating
# smooth reflector for throw BATTERY OPTIONS: 1x 18650 / 1 x 17670 / 2 x 18650 / 2 x 17670 (2 x 18650 recommended for optimum performance!)
# Note: Do not use CR123 or RCR123A / 16340 batteries in the Catapult!
# Voltage cut-off occurs at 2.7V to protect rechargeable batteries. It will flash at 5.2V to indicate low battery voltage for two Rechargeable batteries.

Main difference:
- UI became simpler in the upgraded version
- High mode now draws 3.0a compared to 2.8a in the pre-production model
