BioWare has posted a list of changes made yesterday to Mass Effect 3 multiplayer.

The alterations look to be server side, and tend to only insignificantly tweak damage/shield/health. But there are some meatier changes to class abilities.

The first Mass Effect 3 update was 6th March, then on 13th March, then on 20th March.

Keep an eye on the BioWare forum thread for future changes.
