They did. About four years ago. But since your average EK 777 pilot can't be arsed to read the manual almost nobody noticed.
The next time some plonker creates an ASR that indignantly reports that he got a "Config Spoilers" warning in flight when he knows that all config warnings are inhibited after V1 for the remainder of the flight the response should be.....
RTFM
Strictly speaking, the design of how the speedbrake functions has remains unchanged, as they still need pilot action to be stowed. It's just the warning system alerting crew to speedbrake deployment with
'climb or higher thrust' set on either engine that has evolved with time.
