AFAIK, differences between TLSv1 and SSLv3:
* Expansion of cryptographic keys from the initially exchanged secret
was improved
* MAC construction mechanism modified into an HMAC
* Mandatory support for Diffie-Hellman key exchange, the Digital
Signature Standard, and Triple-DES encryption

In practice, not much of a difference.
