I think the difference is mainly the addition of new events. At least, I

cannot think of any other major differences off the top of my head.

Thus, you can check the enum Log_event_type in sql/log_event.h in the

different versions against each other to see which events are added in which

version and missing in the other versions.

At least some of the added events have documentation of the format of the

event data in the comments in sql/log_event.h at the corresponding class

definition.

Unfortunately I am not aware of any systematic documentation for reading

binlog events or differences between versions. It would certainly be a useful

addition.

But you're most welcome to ask if you have any questions, of course.
