There are a few OPAC files that have changed between those versions:
common/js/config.js
common/js/opac_utils.js
common/js/org_utils.js
some of the images in images/tor
locale/en_US/opac.dtd
skin/default/js/adv_global.js
skin/default/js/rdetail.js
skin/default/js/result_common.js
skin/default/js/xml/advanced_global.xml

Your previous OPAC directory may still work, but you'll be missing out
on fixes and/or new functionality.

A good practice is to copy the skin/default/ directory to something
like skin/custom/.  And then after an upgrade, use something like Vim
and DirDiff plugin to compare files and selectively merge differences.
 Then use custom instead of default with your OPAC URL.
