classification; definitions of instrument runway and non-instrument runway; transfer of safety management provisions to Annex 19; maximum allowable tyre pressure category; condition of the movement area and related facilities; aerodrome mapping data; surface of runways and of runway turn pads; objects on runway strips; blast pad; runway end safety areas; surface of stopways and of taxiways; enhanced taxiway centre line marking; simple touchdown zone lights; alternate
taxiway centre line lights; stop bars; runway guard lights; no-entry bar;
reformatting of Chapter 6; visual aids for denoting obstacles; aerodrome emergency planning including modular tests; rescue and fire fighting, including performance level C foam; siting of equipment and installations on operational areas; aerodrome maintenance, including runway surface friction characteristics; removal of contaminants, runway pavement overlays and visual aids, including light emitting diodes (LEDs); Appendix 1, colours for Aeronautical Ground Lights, Markings, Signs and Panels, including white colour for LED; Appendix 2, Aeronautical Ground Light characteristics, including no-entry bar; Appendix 5, integrity classifications; Attachment A, guidance material on assessing the surface friction characteristics of snow-, slush-, ice-and frost-covered surface, determination of surface friction characteristics for construction and maintenance purposes, drainage characteristics of movement area and adjacent areas, runway end safety areas.

Thanks for the link. When I took a look, I had not realised that heliports [Annex 14, vol. 2] have a new 4th edition just released. However the Annex 14 Vol 1 link is still to the edition 5 dated 2010, and not yet to edition 6.
