If you're asking this question, you should upgrade. It's telling that  
you do not know how to find this out yourself ;) . For no other  
reason, the longer you wait --
	- the more capable you must be to support yourself. There are likely  
to be few people here that used 1.3, let alone remember specific  
details about it to help support you. The longer you wait, the fewer  
there are.
	- the more difficult it will become to convert your existing system  
to the new version. There are required configuration changes for each  
version. The greater the difference between versions, the more complex  
it becomes.

If your comfortable with those, then in brief--
	- Bug fixes too numerous to count
	- Significant performance improvements, especially for larger sites.
	- Active host checks are no longer detrimental (but still aren't  
required)
	- Multi-line plugin output is supported
	- much improved timeperiod definitions/flexibility
	- Native DB support dropped
	- Event Broker API added
	- Regex support within config files.

For a more complete list, see the 'What's New' documentation for each  
version at http://www.nagios.org/docs/ (click the HTML link for each  
version).
