https://linuxcontainers.org/lxd/news should give you some idea of what's new.

For LXD 2.0.x, we only backport bug and security fixes so you won't be
getting new features when staying on the LTS branch (which is precisely
what most production environments want).

Going with the latest feature release (LXD 2.8 right now) will get you
things like the LXD network management API, attach of GPU and USB
devices, recursive file transfers, configurable syscall filtering, PKI
mode, PATCH REST operations and a bunch of extra configuration options.


Both the latest LTS release and the latest stable release are actively
supported by upstream LXD, so pick whichever works best for you.

Note that we push new feature releases about once a month and don't
support previous ones, so if you go with those, you'll be asked to
upgrade to the latest should you ever file a bug report.
