Once you flashed your device, you have what you have - until you reflash it again! :D

Just like on a desktop computer: if you install Windows XP and Microsoft later releases Vista, your computer will have XP until you decide one day to actually install VISTA on your computer.

Chefs continiously improve their ROM's by fixing BUGs and adding new cool features to them. All those changes are posted in the related threads in the ROM DEVELOPMENT section.

If you flashed your device with a cooked ROM and you're happy with it, well, nothing wrong with it! If you flashed your ROM and you encountered a BUG, post it in the related thread or read the posts regarding a newer release of that ROM in order to see if that BUG had been fixed. The same about new features, simply keep reading the posts and decide for yourself if it would be worth upgrading or not ... ! :)

Lots of things can change between releases. The chefs fix bugs, add or remove bundled programs, change features, change skins and appearances. Luckily, most chefs are pretty good at noting the changes they make.

There's nothing wrong with sticking with a ROM for a while, though. My usual habit is to flash a fair number over the course of a couple days, then stick with my favorite of them for a month or so. Trying to flash a new ROM every time one is released means that you'll spend more time configuring your phone than actually USING it. And some people are just fine with that -- but my Kaiser is a tool for me, and I need to be able to use that tool.

Some of the more passionate folks here might try and evaluate new ROMs far more often, however, and there's nothing wrong with that, either.
