The author has confirmed the Jubilee is still a vampire via twitter. However with the current status of the Phoenix force granting powers, I wouldn't be surprised if she got some powers besides the vampiric ones at some point.
I would also like to see X-23 at some point however she is off planet at the moment in Avenger's Arena and may not even survive that so it makes sense that she wouldn't be in the opening roster... besides which if they did then it would COMPLETELY spoil that comic.
I also have to say while some people were saying that this book should have been X-Women or XX-Men or something different... This is actually huge. They gave them the flagship X-Men name, the title series... to a team of all women and only half the team is white. Seriously, Marvel is winning the diversity battle and doing a great job.
So for people who are a bit behind
Storm and Psylocke - Same powers and will soon be leading the Uncanny X-Force. Storm is currently teaching at the school.
Jubilee - Vampire. No mutant abilities. Left with a pacifist vampire sect to learn to better control herself.
Rachel Grey - No changes known of at this time. Teaching at the school.
Rogue - Now an Avenger. Retains her mutant powers but no longer possesses the Captain Marvel abilities of flight and super-strength.
Shadowcat - Headmistress of the school. No power changes.
