Jira 8 was a platform upgrade, so regarding features, for a simple summary I would suggest reading the 8.0 release notes:

Keep in mind that the latest Enterprise version is 7.13 as of now, if enterprise is what you are looking for.

The latest version of Jira Server is 8.4 (released yesterday).  If you want to see all new features introduced since your current version you will need to review each of the release notes in turn.  They can be found here:

Before upgrading, you need to review each of the upgrade notes also, from your current version to the one you upgrade to.
