I upgraded to 2.0.30 today and noticed the new immutable keyword on the
migration to shared page. I knew of the keyword before but older versions of
DMD didn't seem to recognize it, so I assumed it meant invariant.

But now I'd like to know what are the specific differences between the two, as
I couldn't find any detailed page on the subject.

There are no pages on it.  It's currently an alias for invariant.  The
idea is that invariant will eventually lose its meaning as a type
constructor and just go back to a contract, with immutable taking its
place.
