Here are two more people claiming to have the codex. Over all the impressions people are giving for this new codex are not good, but I think as a whole, we should give it until release to before we start claiming the sky has fallen.
Please remember that these are still considered rumors as we do not yet have an official release. I did not include the 4chan leak info which were often discussed in the thread simply because we had already discussed them on this site. If you want to check out the leaks, and the information from them, here is an excellent place to start.

My flatmate managed to get a copy of the nid codex early. I managed to pry it of him while he's gone to work.
-I can confirm there is no transport bug
-Points reductions pretty much as rumored on most big bugs
-No Yamgarl Stealers - There is a Yamgarl Bio Artifact but not for use on Gene Stealer
-No Spore as rumored
-No access to main rule book psychic powers as far as I can tell
-Gene Stealers largely unchanged so pretty much destined to sit on the shelf
-Biovores look to be slightly cheaper and far more effective
-Flesh hooks are available to Warriors & Shrikes - So can swing at initiative when charging into cover
-No obvious way for the Haurspex to close the gap faster. Lictor looks kind of like a locator beacon and doesn't scatter it's self
-Scything Talons are S User, AP6, Melee - No re-roll
-Deep strike seems to be limited to wings and other special rules only ie Mawloc, Lictor, Trygon
-Shrikes and Sky Slashers are in
- "Subterranean Assault" wording is slightly updated but basically the same rule
-"The Horror" is -2 to leadership
-Swarmloard is still a beat stick, basically same points and mastery level 3. Old One Eye is now an HQ and cheaper but not to different by the looks.
It feels like a revision of the previous dex rather than a "new" dex but I'm sure it will be more competative due to the higher model count and increased ability to hurt your opponent outside of combat.
