As said by Johnathan, LTS releases focus on stability and bugfixes
(and may get a bit less of new shiny features than the other releases),
but that doesn't mean it's just that.
a great focus was performance improvements so boot time and memory
usage went down
compared to previous releases,
also there were some usability and artwork improvements (see the
easier global menu bar
configuring and better shadows/ clock layout)

As Nate says, since openSUSE is upgrading from 5.8 LTS, in your
announcement is probably good to have
all the differences from 5.8 which you find more noteworty. They are
listed in the announcement page
