You can find out the list of enhancements for newer versions (we went from 1.1.0 to 1.1.3) in the [vBulletin Announcements](http://www.vbulletin.com/forum/forumdisplay.php?forumid=1) forum of the [vBulletin Community Forum](http://www.vbulletin.com/forum/).

Look for threads that mention the release of a version. You would get a complete list by looking for enhancements to all versions since 1.1.0.
