High mach straight wings

"Advances in airfoils over the last 20-30 years have been able to get the same benefit without the sweep, at least up to Mach numbers in the 0.8-range. The later straight-wing Citations have Mmo's in the 0.8 range, if I remember correctly."

That is what I read from someone else's post today. So what exactly are those advances?
