Yes and no.....

Computer modeling has improved antenna design tremendously, and that is definitely new. There are all sorts of new variations:

 * G0KSC (and others) yagi designs
 * Broadband aluminum half-wave vertical designs from GAP
 * Broadband dipoles including the OCFD (look for an upcoming book)
 * Improved baluns with much better characteristics
 * Beverage on ground

to name a few off the top of my head.
