Missing Fixes from Distribution Packages
This page is well out of date, it is only kept as an example of the sorts of problems you can expect when using out of date versions.
Example of some of the fixes found in later 0.14.x and 0.15.x stable releases which may be missing from distributions that got stuck at a particular minor update (ie: 0.14.10 for Debian):
- important fixes: r10197 (abysmal performance), r10160, printing broken (r10165 + r10105 + r10142), nvenc (r10000 + r10078, also on Debian / Ubuntu: r10133), r10128, r10119, opencl broken (r10024 + r10084), win32 server (#637), win32 client fix (r9751), r9997, r9983, r9970, opengl crashes (r9924 + r9871?, r9799), r9888, r9851, compatibility fixes (r9857 + r9640), r9753, paint failures (r9682), r9711, r9715, shadow fix (r9728), may crash (r9725), no transparency (r9661), leak (r9654), r9620

You can find the full list of changes merged here: wiki/Versions/PendingFixes (under commit log). Some other fixes are simply not available in older branches, here are a few: Versions/PendingFixes/Abandoned.
Non exhaustive list of bugs we would have backported to older branches if they were still maintained (mostly cumulative, the further back you go, the more you need):
