Has .Net IL changed at all since .Net 2.0?

I've heard the claim before that .Net 3.5 made no changes to the IL that it compiles to. Upon thinking through all of the compiler features that I know were introduced, it does, in fact, seem that they could all be implemented in the same old IL, but I can't find an official source to corroborate this claim. Is it true? ...

Are there any advantages to compiling an assembly as x64?

Suppose I have a .Net Framework 3.5 SP1/CLR 2.0 application which needs to run on both x86 and x64 platforms. Suppose as well that for whatever reason, I need to create separate x86 and x64 installation programs.
