IconEase on Cuban import restrictions?

According to a friend of mine in Cuba, some items which were previously illegal to bring to Cuba are now being allowed. I don’t have a copy of the old pages (the Cuban customs regulations pages change several times a year), but you can, for example, compare the page from January 13th of this year to the current customs page. Pay special attention to the prohibited and regulated items list. The prohibited items list is much shorter, and many prohibited items have also been moved to ‘regulated’.

I’m more curious as to what prompted this sudden opening up of import restrictions.
