The third editio typica (typical edition) of the Roman Missal promulgated by Paul VI was officially released in the Jubilee Year 2000 and published in its final form in 2002. I've been asked how it differs from the previous editions of 1970 and 1975. For the sake of others who may be interested, here it is at a glance:
New or restored memorials
- Most Holy Name of Jesus (Jan. 3)
- St. Josephine Bakhita (Feb. 8)

- Four new Eucharistic Prayers Pro Variis Necessitatibus (Appendix to the Order of Mass, pp. 687-702) and three new Eucharistic Prayers Pro Missis cum Pueris (Appendix VI, pp. 1271-88), in addition to the two Eucharistic Prayers De Reconciliatione (Appendix to the Order of Mass, pp. 675-85); these last two are contained in the Missal of 1975.
- Mass for the Remission of Sins (from the 1962 Missal)
- Mass for Continence (from the 1962 Missal)
- Three new votive Masses of the Divine Mercy

It's not an exhaustive list, but I trust it helps.
