Up to you. Here's the list: http://search.cpan.org/author/TIMB/DBI/Changes

The most significant change for most people would be the performance
increase for fetchall_arrayref and selectall_arrayref (fetching
20000 rows from MySQL using those methods is now about twice as
fast). They also now take a row count limit so can be used to fetch
rows in batches.

The selectrow_array and selectrow_arrayref methods are also faster
but you'd probably only notice if you call them thousands of times.

Another significant addition is DBI::Profile. Well worth trying out.

Then there's also $sth->{ParamValues} (if your driver supports it)
being included in the ShowErrorStatement part of error messages.

And a whole bunch of other stuff...

Tim
