This release mainly brings support for popup windows. It is quite a big deal, in previous versions, new tab was opened instead of popup window.
Where can you benefit from this feature? For example, on gmail you can chat with friends in separate windows.
AdBlock can, of course, handle blocking advertisement windows, so don't worry.
Another feature that might interest you is option to use external download manager. Although the integrated one is quite good, you may want to use your favourite manager. Probably KDE users will prefer using KGet, so from this version, it is not problem anymore.
Note: Because of change in icons storage in database, all bookmarks and history entries from older version will be with blank icon. You have to save your bookmarks again.
