A green border means partly filled, gold means maxed. That is the convention the game uses, so a written guide reads the same here.
Each row needs 5 points in that tree for every row above it. Arrows mark talents that need another talent maxed first.
A small + marks a talent that is new in Forever (4 of 53 on Rogue).

New is new in Forever, Changed means the text, rank, level or cost differs from Classic, and Gone is a Classic ability the Forever trainer no longer teaches. Anything unmarked is identical in both.
The level column is where rank 1 is learnt. Later ranks are listed under the name.
Read out of the Forever client and compared against Classic Era, so this is the kit as it stands in the build, not a patch note.

What changed

MutilateA two-weapon strike that gives Assassination a builder worth the tree, rather than spamming Sinister Strike.
VenomPoisons scale with attack power instead of being flat, which is why Classic poisons fell off so hard.
Hack and SlashThe separate Sword, Dagger, Mace and Fist specialisation talents are condensed into one, freeing several points.
Restless BladesFinishers reduce the cooldown of Combat's long cooldowns, so they come up more than once a fight.
CutthroatAmbush can proc outside of stealth, which finally gives Subtlety a sustained rotation.
