Comparing with the earlier version, there is only a very slight change.
In the earlier one they said at the end for Heb 12:2 "sense 3 is also poss(ible)..."
But in the new one they say: "sense 3 is also prob(able)..."
So, they still give both options, but have slightly upgraded sense 3 in terms of probability.
I have no qualms about disagreeing with BDAG and BAGD at this point. The main entry for this verse
should not be under #1.
