Google has updated the cache landing page to make it a bit cleaner, while adding links to view the full view of the web page, the text only version of the web page and the source code of the web page.

Here are screen shots of the new look for the cache results that you can access yourself by searching for a keyword on Google, clicking on the down arrow by the URL in the snippet and selecting the cache link.

Here is the full view (the default cache view):

google-cache-new-full

Here is the text only view:

google-cache-new-text

Here is the source code view:

google-cache-new-source

For perspective, here is an older version of the cache page:
