The portal update we had back in March added a lot of things under our noses, but we never really noticed them, because most of us haven't replayed Portal since.
The first, most obvious part to the update, is a new ending, (Warning: Spoilers ahead for people who are so late to not have beat Portal yet.) in which the protagonist is dragged away from her lying down position, accompanied by a disembodied, new robot voice saying "Thank you for (Go play the game and find out for yourself.)".
The second, less obvious part to the update, is the addition of a new achievement, which is achieved by taking newly-placed radios and carrying them into different parts of the Portal maps, after which they reach an area they start playing Morse code which translates to, well, I don't know, most of the people (Including me.) who have had the chance to listen to it can't decode it because we know nothing about it.
It's also rumored that they translate into codes through binary, an example of which is seen below:
01000111 01000001 01000010 01000101 01001001 01010011
01000110 01000001 01010100
I know I'm probably late as fuck on this, so flame me if you must.
Translations of the Morse code/image text code are welcome, if you're willing to play through Portal again and translate some, or have the patience to lurk Google for it all night.
I find this very interesting, and I'm surprised such an old game is still being updated like this.
Also, I found that during the Mac updates for Half-Life 2 that Episode One downloaded a few new megabytes of stuff- I played through and found that while listening to Kleiner go on on the big screen about procreation and that kind of junk, that he kept repeating "The Combine most certainly will restore their dominion." and "To prepare for them returning, as they most certainly shall." and "Our post-human allies.", something I've never noticed before. (I'm a HL2 canon freak, so, I'm positive these weren't there before.)
This has been done ages ago, there was an entire megathread on this, let me see if I can find the link.

Oh, thanks, it's 5:45 AM here by the way, I've been staying up all night
All that changed in Episode 1 was the achievements present in the console versions were added in.
