From my experience, there aren't any drastic changes for the casual user- certainly no giant leaps- so I would call it a "polishing" release. I think that this is a testimony to how well the previous version worked.
DapperD includes the usual thousands of package updates (few of which really interest me personally) but new to this version is "long-term support" which offers up to five-year support on servers running Ubuntu from Canonical. I understand the rationale to announce this but because traversing Ubuntu versions is so trivial, it seems more of a marketing gimmick than anything else. What I like most of all is that there are now separate versions of Ubuntu (desktop, server, and alternate) and each one is a combined Live- and install-CD. As usual, there are a flurry of "reviews" which measure the boot time and complain about the desktop background.
