Paranoia... differences between editions

[Zipp Dementia]

Can anyone tell me, in relative brief, what major changes there are between this version and 2nd edition?

In particular, I'm a fan of the simplistic nature of 2nd edition's combative rules (roll dice with basic modifiers and get on to that description!), and hope that they remain intact.

The official PARANOIA development blog has, along its right sidebar, links to many reviews around the web that describe the differences between the current and past editions. In particular, this RPG.net review by Evan Waters does a decent job of summarizing the current edition's system.
