Concise list of changes since that version
(Ref: http://dns.measurement-factory.com/tools/dnstop/src/CHANGES)

2014/09/12 Duane Wessels

    Added 'new-gtlds' filter, which includes only queries for names
    ending with one of the new (2013/2014) generic TLDs. This may
    be useful to find hosts/servers using internal names which may
    collide with new gTLDs once they become active. If you use
    short (not fully qualified) names internally you may be uknownlying
    relying on root (or other) name servers to return NXDOMAIN for
    them. If so, "you're gonna have a bad time."

    Along with this new feature, TLD lists are now hashed in the
    code for faster lookups.

    Added more entries to the table of known query type names (HINFO,
    AFSDB, PX, SSHFP, NSEC3, NSEC3PARAM, TLSA, DLV).

2012/10/15 Duane Wessels

    The 'refused' filter only works on responses, which are not
    processed by default. Now, if the 'refused' filter is specified,
    dnstop will automatically process responses and ignore queries.

I've taken the liberty of merging this with bug 780623 since it is essentially the same issue, and that has already been marked as triaged.
