I'd say that OpenGL 3.2 is still the norm nowadays. Many graphics cards out
there don't support OpenGL 4.x (meaning: no hardware support for
tessellation). Mac OSX and Mesa both only support OpenGL 3.2.

You can read the OpenGL 4.3 specifications "with changes marked" to see
what's different between the various releases. If you just want a synopsis,
check out Wikipedia at http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/OpenGL#OpenGL_4.0 .
