Quite a few!

Random noteworthy information: - Urahara and Yuroichi survived (which means Yushiro, Grimmjow and Nel very likely did, too) their encounter with the Gift Ball Barrier... thing. Yuroichi teaches at the Academy every other week. - Mashiro wasn't seen again because she was busy protecting the academy and the students during the second invasion. - Komamura is "deceased." But really, he's stuck in dog form and unable to speak the human language. He lives on a hillside and everyone respects his desire to be left alone. - The current Seventh Division Lieutenant is Iemura Yasochika (the former Third Seat of the Fourth Division) - Kiyone is skilled in Kido and helped tend to Ukitake, hence her promotion to Fourth Division Lieutenant. - Nobody but Hisagi was surprised when Rukia and Renji announced their wedding, lmao. - Official historical records state that the Royal Guard defended the Soul King and repelled the Wandenreich's invasion rather than the Gotei 13. - The Shino Academy takes six years to complete the courses for most students. Additionally, last-year students are inducted into the Gotei 13 as apprentices where they have to perform tasks and duties of Shinigami to get experience for when they officially join; basically, they're interns. (This is also what Ichika, Renji and Rukia's daughter, is during the epilogue chapter of Bleach.) This was done as a means to supplement the heavy losses each Division suffered during the war. - Shino (the lily pad wearing girl from early Thousand Year Blood War Arc chapters) has the last name Madarame. There is no confirmation as to whether she and Ikkaku are related. It's most likely a situation similar to Kenpachi Zaraki; the name is adopted from the district of Rukongai rather than a family name. - Rikichi (Renji's admirer from the Soul Society arc) and Ryunosuke (the kid Shino bullies) share the same last name. They are suggested to be brothers.

I've only read a couple of chapters/segments, so there's probably a lot more info too.
