The only 2nd edition update of DL (aside from SAGA... let's not go there) is the Tales of the Lance boxed and Dragonlance Monstrous Compendium Appendix.

The Player's Guide to the Dragonlance Campaign (2nd edition) is essentially an abbreviated version of the material in the Tales of the Lance boxed set. Abbreviated here meaning = all the background material of the boxed set, but with little to no rules. It's good background material for anyone running a campaign set in the War of the Lance era, but progressively becomes less useful the further down the timeline you proceed.

IOW, fluff material.
