I'm not entirely sure what you meant for the second part of your post, but AFAIK the primary changes in SmartDashboard 2013 are LiveWindow mode and NetworkTables 2, plus a few general enhancements.

A number of enhancements have and are being added to the SmartDashboard that should make it substantially more efficient than previous versions. In addition it now has the LiveWindow integrated in so that you can test robot motors and sensors simply by putting the SmartDashboard into LiveWindow mode.

LiveWindow lets you see the values of all the sensors of your robot and operate the motors using sliders. This give great flexibility in testing without actually needing finished code. The display appears in the SmartDashboard when it is put into LiveWindow mode. It is optimized around Command Based programs and code to send that data to the LiveWindow is automatically generated by RobotBuilder.

Also, the source code is publicly available on FirstForge, so you can compile a copy for yourself if you want.
