enotif v1.34
A bug regarding $oldid has been fixed, which prohibited to generate correct (diff-to-last-visited-version) links in the enotif mails.

All Enotif options became options in user preferences
As mentioned elsewhere, the display of these user options can be suppressed case by case by disabling the corresponding Admin settings in DefaultSettings.php (or LocalSettings.php).

see screenshot

Number of watching users shown in the recent changes view and page article footers
Also listed as http://bugzilla.wikipedia.org/show_bug.cgi?id=727.

Recent changes view and page article footers in classic skin and monobook skin show the number of watching users. See the following screenshot and notice the [3] indicating that three users have currently the Main_page in their watchlists.

A new message page MediaWiki:number_of_watching_users is introduced, which is preset with '($1 watching user/s)' in module Language.php during fresh or upgrade installations. '$1' is replaced with the number of watching users and the text is only shown, if the number is > 0.

Recent Changes view: UseMod style
(For a discussion, if this is useful or useless, please follow http://bugzilla.wikipedia.org/show_bug.cgi?id=756 . I like it.)

see screenshot: only the most recent change of a page is shown. This feature can be globally disabled by Admin setting $wgRCUseModStyle = false, or if globally enabled, the users see a third recent changes view option in users preferences (standard, enhanced, UseMod style). UseMod style and enhanced view can be used together to suppressed older revisions of a page which were shown otherwise on past days.

Page History view shows updated marker only for not-yet seen versions
see screenshot

"updated" marker marks all versions instead only the non visited version of watched pages
Enotif v1.21 now suppresses displaying the marker  updated (since my last visit) in recent changes view for the older i.e. already visited versions of watched pages - i.e. page versions before the enotif was sent do not bear that marker any longer.
