Here are the three biggest ones, though changes are still made in order to continue under reporting inflation (read: incentive to do so in order to stiff social security recipients on their COLAs):

1. In 1983, housing prices were removed and “owner’s equivalent rent” was used instead.

2. In 1998, Hedonics was introduced to estimate a product’s value as technology advances.

3. In 1999, the idea of product substitutions was introduced to the index.
