No. Latin-1 has not changed, and will never change. It's a standard.
If something has to change, another standard will be created. But
Latin-1 will stay Latin-1.
That's not like Mac or Windows charsets where chars gets added or
changed in time, so you can't tell some text is in this charset without
telling also the year.

Latin-9 (AKA ISO-8859-15), another standard very near to Latin-1
(only 8 different chars) has the Euro at A4, and no more currency sign,
right.

Or any charset containing it: ISO-8859-15 and -16, BIG5, all
CP-125x, EUC-KR, etc...
Bye! Alain.
