According to a posting on the Sparrow blog, version 1.0.1 includes:

Improved sending speed

Improved thread/conversation refresh

Basic Apple script support

Various bug fixes

In addition, we're happy to report a free Sparrow Lite version will be available soon in the Mac App Store. It is currently awaiting approval from Apple. Sparrow is available today for $9.99. It currently works with Google mail. The upcoming 1.1 update will offer IMAP support for most mail providers, including Yahoo!, AOL, and MobileMe.
