The specific change was in the moment of switching from daylight savings to standard time - previously it was in the last Sunday of September, since 1996 it's the last Sunday of October - this was done to align with the EU as part of the preparations to eventual accession.

I remember being confused as a child when daylight savings is observed because, well, it changed during my lifetime.
