The Interaction Overview Diagram is new in UML 2.0/2.1. However, it is merely a mixture of an activity diagram and a sequence diagram, whereby activity blocks can be mixed into a sequence diagram and vice versa.

As it does not contain any other new features, it will not be discussed in detail here.
