It describes updates to the branch and gives any special instructions. Since you are using a security branch all the the updates are security related or severe bugs. So look at the most recent update, currently p2 and compare it with the end of your version string. You don't have to download the source BTW, you can get the UPDATING file from here: http://svn.freebsd.org/base/releng/8.0/UPDATING
