Hi Jose
You can find the lists of filters and attributes available for each  
species using the following (e.g for the human dataset):
http://www.ensembl.org/biomart/martservice?type=filters&dataset=hsapiens_gene_ensembl
http://www.ensembl.org/biomart/martservice?type=attributes&dataset=hsapiens_gene_ensembl

I also try to send out an e-mail of changes to the biomart and  
bioconductor mailing lists after each release.
I hope that helps
Rhoda
