2 years... uh
Aliens invaded - Thargoids lots of end game combat stuff you can do solo or in groups with right ships once you unlock AX tech.
Wing missions and scenarios were added... higher payout stuff with friends and faction/background sim play. You can do defend/attack a station in war states or haul goods or pew pew in groups and shared missions.
Engineers and Guardians - Quite grindy but lots of ship upgrades and things to explore... planets without atmospheres for example. You can boost your weapons, FSD range and custom other bits to your play style.
Mining - Deep core mining blow roid rocks open suck up credits. Normal laser mining had limpets added so you can pick up and suck materials and rocks in space.
There's been a lot of QofL improvements, new ships and various small things. We're on the eve of Odyssey a big paid expansion wprth Googling that to see whats up and coming. They added a lot of training videos and tutorials which might be worth you doing as you get back into the Elite. Squadrons have added a layer of guild / clan play as well under QofL.

Barking Mad has a good blog with all the changes https://elitedangerous2016.wordpress.com/
Got back after a long time too (or actually i'm slowly working on it, still too rusty to get back into combat), and i'd say that the first things you'll have to face are the new sensor mode (or whatever is called), the new fss, dss and the new bindings related to them (spent a long time to find a place on my controller for them), let alone the new mining, which i still have to try
Well one change is that terabyte hard drives are dirt cheap these days, so you never need to uninstall ED again regardless if you take a break from it or not.
You were given Azure Paint recently, as a thankyou from FD .... for all your ships It’s a very good paint job.
It’s a very good paint job.
I usually have a look at the content updates. Either on steam or in the patch notes.
TIL Barking Mad has a blog.
Hoping some day someone help me understand why the "small seismic charges" comment is, in any way, interesting or funny.
