Nothing. According to the official "United States Macintosh System Software
6.0.3 Change History" released the day before Christmas by Apple:

"The United States Macintosh System Software 6.0.2 is primarily a 
maintenance release and a bug fix for the Apple File Exchange. In addition it
provides a hook to support 32 Bit Color QuickDraw, and fixes problems in the
AppleTalk Manager and the Time Manager. This System file will be released
to support a future Macintosh."

In that no installer scripts were issued with 6.0.3, this should NOT be
interpreted as a general release. It's for developers to make sure their
software works with 32-bit ("clean") QuickDraw.  This doesn't offer new
functionality, it just offers compatibility with the new class of machines.

"The installed base does not need to upgrade to System 6.0.3."

Hope this helps.
