What happened to the avatar "windows"? They're circular now. Did I miss the memo? :)

Well the avatar size requirement still states 400x400 pixels, which suggests a square avatar. I'm thinking this may be unintended, so I'm not jumping to make any changes to my avatar just yet.

It's not unintended, it was a change made to Xenforo with the 2.1 release, which RR was upgraded to yesterday (2.1.1, actually).

Oops, above post ^ beat me to it lol

Rounded avatars by default
XF 2.1 introduces round avatars by default. They are a bit more aesthetically pleasing:

From the XenForo post...

That said, some people may prefer non-round avatars and if that's the case you can use this new style property to make them square again:

Changing this value to 2px will give them the same appearance as XF 2.0.

That's a board-wide option, not something individual users can control.
