Here are the changes since 0.96.2, as listed in the ChangeLog:

Bug fixes:
 - Portability fixes which affect the ARM architecture.
 - Ultrapeers could be unnecessarily demoted to leaves in auto mode.
 - [GTK2] Fixed a bug that could cause spurious assertion failures or memory
   corruption.
 - Fixed bug that might have caused truncation of printed numbers in certain
   places.
 - Rewrite the upload_history file if the history was cleared.
 - Fixed crash caused by an assertion failure that could occur if IPv6
   support was disabled at compile-time.
 - Fixed buggy utf8_is_valid_data().
 - Fixed a couple of small technical mistakes in translations.
 - Fixed compilation for Cygwin without IPv6 support.

Updated:
 - Updated French translation.
 - Updated list of hostile IP ranges.
 - Updated list of bootstrap caches.
 - Updated list of country names and codes for Serbia and Montenegro.

Improvements:
 - Turkish translation.
 - New shell commands: online, offline, props, status.
 - The search list allows selection of multiple items and applying actions to
   them now.
 - Added a tray icon to hide the Gtk-Gnutella application windows. This
   feature requires Gtk+ 2.10 or newer.
 - Added a limit of downloads per file which defaults to 40 to prevent using
   an unreasonably large amount of sources.
 - Keep certain irrelevant columns empty for "local:" searches instead of
   showing bogus data.
 - Added README.Debian with instructions how to compile Gtk-Gnutella yourself
   on Debian-derived systems.

Under the hood:
 - Rewrote "fast" assertions so that they are sufficiently portable and do
   not mess with debugging. Thus they are always enabled now which reduces
   code size signifcantly.
 - The TLS cache is now persistent without SQLite too.
 - Disabled reservation of Gnutella slots and vendor limits because it's not
   useful with the current population of Gnutella.
 - Disabled GWebCache updates.
 - Configure bails out now if a mandatory dependency e.g., libxml2, GLib,
   zlib isn't available.
 - Added -Wshadow to the default compile flags for GCC for even cleaner code.

Enjoy!
