 Here are the main updates in this subclass since Player's Handbook (5e):

• Vow of Enmity now lets you move your vow to another creature if the previous creature was reduced to 0 hit points before the duration of the feature ends, and the feature’s range has increased.
• Relentless Avenger can now reduce the target’s Speed to 0.
• Abjure Enemy has been replaced by Abjure Foes in the base class.
• Avenging Angel now uses a Bonus Action instead of an action, and its duration is now 10 minutes rather than an hour. You can also regain the use of it by expending a 5th-level spell slot
