It’s been substantially changed.
Interestingly, chatting to a lawyer on whether or not there could be an extension without an Act of Parliament, there is a good argument against requiring one as it's not substantially changed. The logic being nothing is fundamentally altered - just the arbitrary day that has been chosen. A very long extension, would probably be different however.

The extensions have been added.
Bercow may still decide that’s not enough change but he’s had his moment, a shot across the boughs so to speak. TM has been warned to stop trying to strong arm parliament, a lesson she has clearly not learnt given her we the people vs them the democratically elected representatives speech the other day.
