I don't know about new ones, but it does take care of the bug I
reported earlier (Request ID: 1786431)

(%i1) tlimswitch : true;
(%o1)                               true
(%i2) limit( sqrt(x^2 + x +1) + x, x, minf);
                                        1
(%o2)                                - -
                                        2

and a few others, for example, 1731127, 1692082 and 1665657.
