Thanks. I didn't know that. Not in todays NY Times, even.
As Steve says, unchanged is the rate for a thin one ounce or less letter ($0.34), and for a 1/4-inch or more thick one-ounce or less letter ($0.45). But the rate for ounces above the first ounce is now 23 cents (it was, up to today, 21 cents).
Here is a Post Office table showing the new rates:

Most interesting to me in the table is scrolling down to
"7.3 Summary of First-Class Rates,"
and "8.0 Priority Mail."
