Without wasting many words, here are the videos about the new features: 

SplineWarp

This explains the extent to which the new features improve the workflow. 

ZDefocus

New in Nuke 7.0 is the ZDefocus node, a major upgrade of the Nuke Zblur node.

DepthGenerator

Depth-pass calculation has also been improved, with changes to the workflow and new output options.

Primatte 5

Four new tools are presented here: Auto-Compute, Smart Select BackGround Colour, a new Adjust Lighting feature and a Hybrid Matte feature. All four are intended to accelerate and improve the keying process.
