Yes there has it's been a long time between versions but from the earliest to the newest versions of Score the file format hasn't changed.
Gee, sounds like a concept I mentioned on this list a few years ago, and was soundly told that it simply isn't possible: Design a program that works and does what it needs to do. Then stop futzing with it. No yearly changes, no new bugs. Anything else sounds like planned obsolescence.
Because Score is basically a musical database each item has it's own parameter listing including location on page / stave / size / offset etc there's no need to change the file format. So the big advantage is that publishing house can open files created 10 years ago and have them display and print exactly the same.
