None, but I'd still advocate releasing a new minor because there's plenty of anecdata suggesting that our userbase tend to consider 5.x.y and 5.x.y+z to be the same in terms of features. We used to see this confusion in ##php a lot over things like crypt() algorithm support changing over the course of 5.3: trying to explain that you don't want to use anything before 5.3.7 is actually surprisingly difficult, whereas saying "5.4 fixes this" is easy.
