Basicly it's the latest. There are info at the Arduino website [1].
One change that to my limited knowledge might be of interest, and
seam most significant, is:"Rather then requiring a physical press of the reset button before an
upload, the Arduino Diecimila is designed in a way that allows it to
be reset by software running on a connected computer." -- [1].
I also got my first Arduino now, and it's a Diecimila board. I couldn't upload anything to the board on my main machine, though, and at first thought it was broken, but then it worked fine on my laptop. Need to investigate this later.
I was told by my vendor, that one has to use the 0.9 Arduino software to upload, I didn't try any older version anyway.
I also didn't yet try Firmata, maybe I'll check it out next week, but as I need to control stepper motors, I might not be able to use Firmata anyways, I guess.
Hint for Debian users: The Debian instructions on arduino.cc are way out of date, follow the Ubuntu docs instead.
Autoreset is a nice feature, but on some boards it doesn't work, as they have the wrong firmware on it accidentally. See the FAQ. Thankfully it works for me.
