On my home page, I now see a "New posts" button (with a lightning bolt through it)
Not new. That's the same as the What's New menu option that is currently under the "headstock".
And is there any difference between that button and the "Unread posts" button that I have always used?
Yes. What's New uses dates and will show you "recent" posts that you have already viewed. "Unread" shows you posts that you have not read. I seem to recall @GAD did some customization perhaps in naming Unread?.
Experimenting on another site I frequent using a different version of the software, I think "What's New" sorts posts by Date and then displays them in reverse chronological order. Unread takes the same list as What's New but only displays the posts that are Unread.
On the other board the option that is "Unread" here is "New Posts" there and I seem to remember some confusion which is why the name changed.
