The 2010 California Title 24 Codes (Parts 1 - 12) Are now being shipped. The International Code Council, publisher of the majority of the new codes, has not yet released the new codes on Cd-Rom. We expect them some time later this month.
Although not as huge a transition as we had between the 2001 and 2007 Codes, this triennial edition has a couple of major changes:

NEW Title 24, Part 2.5, The Residential Building Code (for one and two-family dwellings and town homes of not more than 3 stories) Adopts, amends, and supplements the 2009 International Residential Code (IRC) Chapters 2-10 only. (The code does NOT adopt the Mechanical, Plumbing, Energy, or Electrical Standards from the IRC.)
California has Adopted a Residential Fire Sprinkler Requirement for the 2010 California Title 24. More info HERE.
NEW Title 24, Part 11, California Green Buildings Standards Code (CALGreen), the nations first mandatory green building code.
