Yes, e.g. "Recommended products" module was revamped. "Advanced statistics" module is removed, etc.
---
[*] 27 Dec 2013, aim - Improvement (0136999): Removed Advanced_Statistics module. Made some changes to text labels.
[*] 04 Dec 2013, aim - Improvement (0093858, 0108139, 0101704): The module Recommended_Products no longer depends on Advanced_Statistics. Now it depends on real orders, including orders submitted by buyers without a registered user account. Added new options: Show random products, Customers who bought this also bought, Customers who bought this also bought + Random products.

However if changes been made in the default 'common_files' skin, they will affect the mobile side view in some cases.
