Bottom of the 4.2 patch notes:

User Interface

• The User Interface panels have been resized so there is no more need for scroll bars.The
• Addons will no longer be able to intelligently swap items by working with the built-in Equipment Manager.
• Character talent specializations can now be viewed on mouseover of the Battlegrounds Scoreboard.
• There is now a Dismiss Pet option on unit frames.
• The durability character display will now show items as yellow when they are below 20% durability, instead of when items have 5 durability or less.
• The Macros window and Spellbook can now both be open at the same time to allow for more intuitive macro creation. In addition, the Macros window has a Save/Cancel button.
• It is now easier to change the language of the game client to any language available in the region.
• A target or focus target can be selected within the mini-map tracking (does not include enemy players).
• Vendors now display currency types they use.

What exactly is the functionality of this? At first glance I thought it may have been a return to use of mini-map for targeted spells like blizzard etc. but realise now it is actually targetting a specific unit which doesn't help for these AoE type spells. Is it only useful for hunters/druids who have some sort of tracking capabilities then I wonder?

Doesn't that just mean that the target and focus target icons on the minimap can be enabled or disabled?

Yep that's it. My thinking got off track initially with wild thoughts of the targetting via mini-map system coming back :P I was thinking that a focus or target were able to be selected via the mini-map, not the mini-map tracking...
