The main thing that has happend is merging with http://www.scribtex.com with both of us now working on ShareLaTeX full time.
Thank you for all the support and feedback we have been receiving, its been wonderful, please keep letting us know what you think!
e.g.
The other advantage is the ease of collaboration. While there are plenty of people in the LaTeX world who know git, there are plenty that don't as well. ShareLaTeX gives everyone a point and click way to make sure they are in sync with their collaborators. That said, we're getting quite close to offering git access to the projects for people who want it.
Also, my apologies that we keep appearing on the front page (along with a few other similar sites). We're flattered that people keep submitting us though.
They did just roll out syntax completion for some of the common items (begin, subsection, subsubsection), and their new 'split screen' feature is rather nice.
I do see it on HN often as well....
