Anurag Acharya of Google Scholar has announced some changes to Google  
Scholar as of last night:

o 24 new domains - 20 spanish speaking countries and 4 german speaking
countries.
o Quite a few more articles in many languages (including spanish,
german, french and english)
o An additional mode to search for "recent articles". This is not a
sort-by-date. Rather it tries to approximate how researchers select
new papers to read by taking into account reputation of the authors,
the journals, how long the paper has been published and the number of
citations.
o Six more national union catalogs for Library Search
o Citation export in EndNote, RefWorks, Refman and Bibtex formats.
