I am not a openldap developer but i am a lazy FL / oss developer. So i think your question is general. There are so many project that don't change the basic function but are releasing new version. Why ? Well, a possibility is introducing a new build sistem, changing the library api for a better factoring, fixing some bug and , why not, better integration, portability issue . And sometime new feature, dropping past mistake in a incompatible way and so on. for me this is a sufficient reason for doing release.
But it just my not so naive i think opinion .
