From Jon Skeet's book C# in Depth, the web page is here for detail.

C# 2, introducing generics, nullable types, anonymous methods, iterator blocks and some other more minor features

C# 3, introducing implicit typing, object and collection initializers, anonymous types, automatic properties, lambda expressions, extension methods, query expressions and some other minor features

Many new features support the introduction of LINQ (they can be used in many different contexts, but they are very useful in the context of LINQ).

I strongly suggest you read Jon Skeet's C# in Depth for a detailed explanation of each new feature.
