Yes, about 2m longer. Also some modifications to the heat shield, including testing new types of heat shield tiles. Also non-structural versions of new catch pins to see how they perform on reentry

Edit: also, they are reflying one of the raptor engines that was on the previous flight (Engine 314, because pi).

Thanks, they also mentioned that they moved the upper flaps to reduce heating on them during reentry.
