Microsoft introduced new web-parts and updates:

SharePoint web parts are building blocks for your site pages and news articles. Just click the + sign and pick the right web parts.
Planner
Now, you can add your plans to any page. A news article is like a weekly status update with assignments and progress clearly visible.
The embedded Planner web part displays a status of tasks like “To do” or “In Progress”, you can add your own one.
You can add a plan in seconds, just choose whether you want it to be more overview (Charts) or the buckets of individual tasks in a Kanban view (Boards).

Office 365 Connectors
Bring in information from third-party services like Asana, Bitbucket, Jira, GitHub, Stack Overflow and more using an Office 365 Connector.
Connectors within SharePoint are only available for use within group-connected SharePoint team sites.

If you really want to keep your pages and news articles up-to-the-minute, highlight live tweets and feeds from Twitter handles, curated collections or via a search widget. Put what’s being said externally right alongside the context of what you are working on internally.
Now, site members can showcase Twitter feeds and individual tweets right inside SharePoint pages and news. It simple to add the Twitter web part within the layout, and then plug in the desired Twitter address, individual tweet links, curated collections, or search widgets.

Kindle instant preview
With the Kindle instant preview web part, you can reference a book you want to recommend or promote. Your readers can then PREVIEW the book using the Kindle Instant Preview web part or go straight to BUY.
