The major difference that I know of is that in 2.8.1, exceptions work
out-of-the-box.  2.8.0 required a special command line switch.  The very
latest release of 2.8.1 includes some fixes that prevent GCC from
hanging under certain mis-installation conditions.  Those are
DJGPP-specific; there are probably other general bugfixes of which I'm
not aware.  IMHO, don't feel pressured to upgrade unless you have
trouble, or feel anxious about bugs you might not notice.
