The chance that something is different is actually a good thing.
Some radios such as the Baofeng series, make changes to the firmware on a regular basis. Cross Loading images from one radio to another with a different F/W version could disable the new radio. Added measures to prevent this are built into CHIRP. New features, improvements and updates are being added.
I personally always use the Latest Daily Build.

I have been reading the discussions on the discussion board and have a simple question. I have a vs of Chirp that is working perfectly on my 5-v2+…. Why should I download a later vs and chance that something is different?

Greetings,
A new daily build of CHIRP is available. This includes changes made directly to the tree yesterday, and may include additional features, bug fixes, and/or bugs. If you are interested in trying it, grab it from the following location:
http://trac.chirp.danplanet.com/chirp_daily/daily-20151005
A list of the changes included in this build (since the last daily) follows:
Changes for Build #361 [Cody P Schafer dev@codyps.com] drivers/ft60: remove extra "(None)" in duplex drop down (#2893)
ft60's driver uses the DUPLEX variable's indexes as the stored values in radio memory, and there are 2 empty string ("") options. Make chirpw's interface a bit nicer looking by hiding one of them (arbitrarily chose to hide the first as that is convenient code-wise).
[Cody P Schafer dev@codyps.com] drivers/ft60: add support for "off" duplex mode (#2891)
By using a tx frequency of '0', the radio (or at least my ft60) refuses to transmit (gives "ERROR" on the screen) when the PTT key is pressed.
