Yesterday I broke the news at Search Engine Land that the new Google Search Console beta is live for everyone, even those who did not get the email notifications. As I said, Google did say a couple weeks ago it was rolling out but now it is out for all.
Just go to https://search.google.com/search-console and click on the top right where it says "search properties" and you should see all your verified sites there. If not, then maybe it is a bit lagged for you, but everyone I know has full access now.
I am not going to go through the features in the beta, we did that before. But you might not see the link from the old Google Search Console to the new one yet because Google is trying to limit traffic to the new one so they can get a handle on it.
John Mueller explained on Twitter:
This is mostly to hold the floodgates a little bit closed while they check that things are working as expected -- the link should be there soon. (You SEOs & the links ... :-))

I believe the first one to spot this roll out was Pedro Dias:
Yay! It seems there was a big roll-out today on the new Search Console. I got it pushed to include all of my sites. ੧(^▿^)೨
