"A lot" is relative. Since Julia has such a small core, there will be fewer changes than many other fledgling languages (I'm looking at you, Rust). You're more likely to see new features and refinement of behaviour in edge cases than breaking changes.
That said, it is rough around some edges and the library ecosystem is in flux as we try to approach the wealth of resources possessed by more mature communities. Julia has been a successful replacement for other languages as a research tool, but I have yet to hear of a production system running Julia (who knows--maybe my company will be the first).
