They mention a couple of features that are not just "long exposure" in the post:
* Compensating for moving stars
* "Live viewfinder" during exposure
* Selectively darkening the sky
* Dark current compensation (though that is probably needed for all long-exposure photography...still, not a simple "more exposure" feature)
