What is the difference between Gmail encryption today, and Gmail encryption announced in 2010? Gmail always had a https address, and it still has a https address. How is it more secure now?

I think the difference is encryption during the initial handshake, when the TCP stream is established, but the packets themselves were not encrypted before. Can someone demystify for me please? Basically what's the difference between this announcement from Google: http://googleblog.blogspot.com/2014/03/staying-at-forefront-of-email-security.html , and this announcement in 2010 : http://gmailblog.blogspot.com/2010/01/default-https-access-for-gmail.html

Answer:
Before, you had an option to disable https. Now you don't have that option.

In 2010, Google announced the option to to set HTTPS default for every session. You still had the option to use Gmail in the open (HTTP). In Google Apps the System Admin had the option to force all users as HTTPS. Today's announcement means that HTTPS is the default for all users, and it can not be turned off.
