It looks, when I checked quickly, that the most significant (to you) changes are:
Different handling of RTL "am I there?" check, so that it uses the WP radius, rather than a static 4m circle to determine if the AC has missed the WP.
Changed Loiter PIDs
Loiter_P 1.0 -> .5
Loiter_I 0.01 -> 0.0
Nav_P 2.0 -> 4.0
Nav_I 0.10 -> 0.25
Nav_IMAX 16 -> 20
There was also a move of an ADC filter outside of HIL, so it would not take place in HIL
There were other changes on the 2nd and 3rd, to add a limiter to the ramp up of speed for waypoints, a second PI loop for alt hold, increased gains for the jdrones frame, and removed some test code to help for 1280 space issues. But I this I think was maybe compiled into 2.0.46 before the firmware number was incremented, so I guess you can consider that 2.0.46, as I think it was pushed into a refresh of 2.0.46.
Here is the changelog

There are also changes to libraries, but I did not see anything that you would likely be interested, with a quick check.
