You can find some notes about changes in AppleScript in Mac OS X 10.2.4 at the MacScripter.net site and on the AppleScript Info blog. Here are some less interesting items, which I haven't seen mentioned elsewhere:
Mac OS X 10.2.4 includes a new copy of the Digital Hub Scripting OSAX. The old one is version 1.0 with creation and modification dates of 7/29/02. The new one is still version 1.0, but it has a modification date of 2/11/03. The dictionary is unchanged. I have no idea what, if anything, was changed internally.
Mac OS X 10.2.4 includes a whole bunch of new Apple System Profiler reporter modules, and System Profiler is upped from version 3.0 to 3.0.1. I see no changes in the dictionary. Most likely, nothing was changed relating to AppleScript.
Mac OS X 10.2.4 includes Finder 10.2.1, up from 10.2. I haven't yet taken the time to see whether there are any dictionary changes.

Here's a nice tip from Rob Jorgensen of AppleScript Info fame to get from Eudora the path to a mail folder. It was posted today to the Macintosh Scripting Systems list (aka MACSCRPT@LISTSERV.DARTMOUTH.EDU). As anyone that ever scripted Eudora, you can do a lot from AppleScript of Frontier/Radio, but its dictionnary is, to say the least, rather unconventional. Well this example is not so unconventional after all, it was just hard to guess...
I modifed slightly the original script.
tell application "Eudora" to set mailboxPath to (get file of mailbox 1) as string tell application "Finder" to set mailFolderPath to (container of mailboxPath) as string
