No big change in the 'back end' is coming to mind.

Bill, according to Matt Cutts, Google is not suppressing more results into the supplemental index. Google is indexing less pages from sites with low numbers of incoming/outbound trusted links, and that is causing supplementals to show through in the results. In other words, the numbers of supplemental pages hasn't grown; instead, the number of indexed pages from some borderline sites has dropped.

As far as I know, Google hasn't implemented any big changes in their algorithm. What's changed is that now, according to Cutts, Google is "better at judging link quality" (i.e. identifying reciprocal links, linktrades, bought links). Pre Big Daddy, if your brand new 20,000 page (original, quality, exclusive, non-spammy...) site had a decent PR, Google will deep crawl / index it eventually. Post Big Daddy, depending on the types of links going in and out of your site (i.e. 100% hardlink trades), your site may never get indexed.
Anyway, that's the hype.
