Not from an end-users perspective, I'd say. Back in ye olde days when I started using Octave, I never installed Octave-Forge because I didn't have all the dependencies installed. Now people can just install the packages they need, and ignore the ones they don't need (on my work machine I actually only have two packages installed). But yes, from a release point of view, not that much has changed...
