I'm pretty happy with the changes in general as listed. I like the 50% MWD bloom reduction bonus, and I also like the other changes that were rolled in for sensor strength, lock range and cap recharge.
As for specific ships:
Sacrilege: Sad to see the Sac lose its cap regen bonus (because it was always hilarious with active-rep Sacs, and even more so with the AARs added to the game), but the range bonus is a good trade imo, especially with the addition of HMLs to the missile damage bonus it has.
Zealot: This ship was already in pretty good shape balance-wise, so I'm cool with the lack of (significant) change here.
Cerberus: I like the addition of another launcher slot, though that utility high that's being used to replace it is pretty useful (we don't talk about Tristans and Cerbs, k). I'm not entirely sold on keeping the kinetic damage bonus, though.
Eagle: I've never actually flown an Eagle, but increased fitting, plus the changes to medium railguns, make this sound like it might be fun to try out sometime.
Deimos: I can't really express how glad I am to see the Deimos keeping its MWD cap penalty reduction bonus (the Thorax losing it as part of the first round of Tiericide made me very sad), though I will miss that utility highslot a bunch. On the other hand, the added midslot will mean that you can have dualprop and both a scram and a web on it if you go blasters, and this makes me very happy, because it was one of the annoying limitations of going dualprop with the Deimos.
Ishtar: Very happy with the changes here. The changed bonuses solidly put it into the droneboat category it belongs in as a Creodron ship, and make it an appetizing alternative to the Navy Vexor. Rolling the drone bay bonus into the base stats was also a very good idea; it was one bonus that always annoyed me with both the Ishkur and Ishtar. And of course, the increase to fitting, especially the CPU, has been needed since the dark ages of EVE. Just go look on omgrawr for further details. 
Vagabond: I think the new shield boost bonus makes the Vagabond a much more attractive ship for soloing/small-gang warfare while also not reducing the effectiveness of the current standard Vagabond fit in fleet use. Pretty happy with the changes here.
Muninn: I've never flown a Muninn, so I can't really say much here to these changes.
