Some visible new features from the user point of view:

- Avatars: http://www.ietf.org/rfc/rfc4480.txt especially point 3.12
- group chat: /!\ DRAFT
http://tools.ietf.org/html/draft-ietf-sip-uri-list-message-03
OR
http://tools.ietf.org/html/draft-ietf-simple-chat-02
- is composing feature: http://www.ietf.org/rfc/rfc3994.txt (this add
better interoperabiblity with Pidgin and softwares based on its stack
for SIMPLE)
- a log system+search in it, for text messages
- win32 build (well, not in the 6 months cycle)
- White and black list (first step in a privacy feature)
- ZRTP... (I know, not really on our shoulders)

This is what come in mind quickly...
