The changes to the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure go into effect on December 1, 2007.  Thompson West has posted a 5 minute video featuring the authors of the Federal Civil Rules Handbook.  This video details the changes. Apparently, the “changes have mostly come about as a result of a comprehensive overhaul by a federal style committee.
