As might be known the older version was buggy and very noisy: it could hose your SCOM-environment totally. Look here for that posting.
PFE (Premier Field Engineer) Kevin Holman and I were in a race about whom would post first about it. He beat me to it. So I will not repeat his posting but link to it since his posting is - as usually - a good one. His posting can be found here.
My comments on the MP: not many major changes and the MP needs a lot of work in order to make it far less noisy.
Advise: Run it in a testenvironment first and disable the unneeded monitors/rules and discoveries. Put all these adjustments in a seperate MP, export it. Import the Dell MP into the production-environment together with the MP containing all the adjustments. And keep a watchful eye on your SCOM-environment afterwards...Personally I still think this MP has the potential to hose the SCOM environment. So do not run it without any modifications.
Another piece of advise: run the 'installer' DellBMCLogSetup.exe on the Management Servers so the folder 'c:\DellReports' will be created containing the executable 'DellBMCLog.exe'.
Otherwise these errors will popup in the OpsMgr eventlog of the Management Servers:

Marnix,
Do you know when version 4.0 of the Dell MP is supposed to be released?
Hi there.
No I do not know. And actually I am not sure whether Dell will do so.
So if any one knows more, please let me know and I put on my blog.
Best regards,
Marnix
Dell has released the 4.0 version of the Server Management Pack and you can pick it up from : http://support.us.dell.com/support/downloads/format.aspx?releaseid=R237719
