This incident happened on Sunday, but it apparently wasn't until yesterday that avherald.com had the story and other news sources then followed up.
Nothing official, but from what I picked up on various forums, there was a complete failure of the green hydraulic system and the yellow system was shut down temporarily due to overheating. With only the blue system remaining, that caused a loss of yaw damper, among other problems, that resulted in a very uncomfortable 4 hours with many passengers vomiting from the yawing motions.

It's surprising that it took so long for this to make news, considering that there was a Daily News columnist on the flight and many others were tweeting.
