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.
