Looking at the originally-referenced wiki page, the relevant addition 
seems to be that, in addition to allowing "GPL version 2 or version 3 or 
later versions approved by the membership of KDE e.V", we will now also 
allow "GPL version 2 or version 3 or later versions approved by 
Trolltech ASA and the KDE Free Qt Foundation". (What about code that 
contains a mix of those sources? I suppose approval of a later license 
by both "the membership of KDE e.V" and "Trolltech ASA and the KDE Free 
Qt Foundation" is required?)

Of course, now that Qt is GPLv3, why do we still *require* GPLv2? ;-)
