OUTLINECOLOR seems to be interpreted differently in the two
versions.
In 6.0, OUTLINECOLOR is used for the fill symbol (you can
see that the polygon outline is missing, but there is a
lot of blue in the fill).  This behaviour is described in
the 6.0 documentation.
In 5.6, OUTLINECOLOR seems to be used for the polygon outline.

The change may have something to do with the rendering
overhaul and/or AGG / GD differences.

To get a blue polygon outline in 6.0, you could change from:

       STYLE
         COLOR 255 153 102
         OUTLINECOLOR 0 0 204
         SYMBOL 1
         SIZE 2
       END

to:

       STYLE
         COLOR 255 153 102
         SYMBOL 1
         SIZE 2
       END
       STYLE
         OUTLINECOLOR 0 0 204
         WIDTH 1
       END

The font looks similar, except for the scalebar.
