• Improves performance when downloading iTunes Plus songs.
• Provides AutoFill for manually managed iPods.
• Allows CDs to be imported at the same sound quality as iTunes Plus.

• Allows iTunes U and the iTunes Store to be disabled separately using Parental Controls.
Another interesting note from the The Mac Security Blog is:
This version includes a security fix for an issue where subscribing to a malicious podcast could lead to the disclosure of a user’s iTunes username and password. There is also a Windows-only fix for a potential denial of service issue.
