Release notes come out with every release. They're present in the download and/or on the page where you download from. http://java.sun.com/j2se/1.5.0/docs/relnotes/features.html

Well i would say there are so many ..

Things like generics, annotations,enhanced looping(for),Autoboxing/Unboxing,Varargs,Typesafe Enums,Static Imports & so on..... where being introduced with.

Because of all this sun had actually changed the versioning of the JDK project.

Just for further info try to make use of the links below to get fast info...

Can't resist airing my opinion. The difference is that Java is now a mature programming language. It wasn't when you couldn't build type-safe generic containers (collections). You can in Java 1.5.Just my 0.1 worth ;-)(No, that wasn't a very good joke, sorry.)
