In Jay's changelog

What Jay's changelog for GTS says about it, newest revision first. A later revision can have changed it again; the rest of this page is what base GTS does now.

V118 Tripping Hazard: There was a suspicious woodcutting axe in the middle of a path in front of the Bannered Mare. Proventus has decreed this cannot stand, so he has ordered a guard to remove it from the premises.
V109 JohnTravoltaLookingAroundMeme.gif: Picking a note in the Bannered Mare or Drunken Huntsman starts the "Investigate White River Watch" misc quest (that hints towards starting the Val Serano quest). Hovewer, the quest marker was pointing to the entrance of the cave, with no direction as to what to investigate there. Pigeon has changed the marker to point to Val's Message in a Bottle, moved to the end of the dungeon in GTS.
V59 S.T.A.R patches by MissileMan: One of the unique hagravens is disabled until you reach an acceptable level. Also, if you rent a room at The Bannered Mare, people won’t walk all over your room anymore while you’re sleeping. Immersion!
V12 Made the Winking Skeever, the Bannered Mare and the Frozen Hearth Inns much brighter, as you could hardly see anything lol

From base GTS 118's own records: the winning copy of WhiterunBanneredMareLocation (GORE.esp). Boss: who the place's own record marks as its boss (one picked by level has no name of its own and isn't shown). People: where the game places them as a game starts; they walk about.
