The release notes are identical to those for iOS 17.5, with the following addition specific to the 2024 iPads: Document scanning is improved on the new iPad Air and iPad Pro.
The new 2024 iPad Air and Pro both feature a new "adaptive True Tone flash." The camera function uses AI to identify if it's primarily a document in view and then takes multiple images with the adaptive flash, stitching them together in a way that removes shadows and creates a clear scan.
