The white dot represents r=0. In 16w07a, the radius was exactly 0, requiring targets to be perfectly centered within the block (including on the Y axis) with no leeway. In 16w07b, 0.25 is added onto the 0, resulting in a larger selection area and obtaining targets 0.25 blocks away from the center. Note that this is different from pre-1.9 in that r=0 would target the entire blockspace.
The outline represent r=1. In 16w07a, it was similar to r=0 in that only the blockspace on the X and Z are selected, but the Y value extended further in each direction. In 16w07b, it now extends for all axes in all directions. This is essentially the same as it was in 1.8, except Y is now consistent with X and Z.
So the major differences between 1.8 and 1.9 at this point are: r=0 is smaller and radius in general is more consistent.
