Again, these are server side updates.
* That link includes a mention of the dodging change. This change actually happened a couple weeks ago. It's now only a max 75% damage reduction.

- new movesets for some pokémon (list of changes*)
- spawn rates of regional exclusive pokémon have skyrocketed (I've seen 3 Tauros so far today!)**
- spawn rates of rarer pokémon have also increased
- more potions are being dropped at PokeStops
