The UI is completely different and more easy to tune.
The export function towards various formats is more powerful.
The inset functions have been deeply improved, but as a side effect
bugs wormed inside the table insets.
So as Jean-marc says, it is worth to upgrade unless your
documents have a lot of tables.
You may download the last fix2 (see the lyx home page) and have a look at
the Changelog.
Anyway, you may do what I did here: install 1.1.6 under its name
(configure allows it) and run the 1.1.5fix2 as lyx and 1.1.6fix2 as lyx-1.1.6
