It looks like an update landed for the Pokémon Go Android app last night; I'm now at 0.41.4. No idea if/when these changes are coming to iOS. Changes I've spotted already:

  • Eggs now only list integer distances rather than decimals
  • The badge page has had a significant redesign, with every badge getting a unique icon and numbers seeming to have been removed entirely
  • When catching a Pokémon, some icons flash up at the top of the screen briefly, which I think indicate the type of the Pokémon or of its moves, but I haven't been able to work that out yet

Edit: Other changes apparently in this release that I haven't yet seen for myself:

  • Egg screens periodically update without needing to exit and reload the page
  • Evolution animations are shorter to save time
  • Pokémon get easier to catch if you have a higher tier badge of their type
  • You can now have six Pokémon battling at a friendly gym, and CP of Pokémon you're battling might be adjusted to match your Pokémon.
  • Possibly something changing again about how rooted devices are detected

Thanks for posting this! I'm including a link in the news round-up that has screencaps of the changes, so hopefully that'll make things easy to visualize for people who haven't seen them yet. :D
