Right.  More detailed info is available in the AARM.
Look at:

http://www.adaic.org/standards/ada05.html

and you will find various documents.  If you look in the AARM,
you will find detailed lists of all changes between Ada 83 and Ada 95,
and also between Ada 95 and Ada 2005.

The three big features added between 83 and 95 were:

Support for OOP (tagged types, class-wide types, dispatching calls, ...)

Hierarchical library units (child packages)

Protected objects
