Excellent reply Christian! Great links and good comment about subjective - spot on.
One could also check out each versions documentation about "What's new"
https://www.ibm.com/docs/en/i/7.5?topic=documentation-overview-whats-new
If you want the 7.4 version change one character in the link above. Or click on the "Change version" box.

For new features in IBM i 7.4 and 7.5, you should check the TR landing page found here:
https://www.ibm.com/support/pages/node/1119129
All base and later enhancements are listed there, with links to the documentation.
You should have a look at SQL services, where most of the development goes. The IBM i Services (SQL) page gives a great overview over what's available and in which IBM i release / TR.
IBM i 7.4 was mostly about DB2 Mirror and IBM i 7.5 was the boolean datatype in DB2.
What's valuable to you is very subjective - so check out the documentation mentioned above and pick the ones you like the most.
Best regards,
Christian

Please share any useful features that have become available in IBM i 7.4 and 7.5.
I'm aware of capabilities like geospatial analysis and ZLIB, but I'm interested in learning about more practical ones. If you're familiar with any, please do share.
For instance, I've heard about the ability to retrieve previously skipped commands using the F8 key while displaying past commands with the F9 key on the 5250 command screen, and the ability to extract information from JOBLOG by specifying a username.
Any insights would be greatly appreciated!
