Details from the New York Times updated one minute ago:

Democratic officials said Republicans agreed to drop their demands that funding be stripped from groups that provide abortions. And Democrats also succeeded in preventing Republican efforts to limit the Environmental Protection Agency's regulation of greenhouse gasses.

In exchange, Republicans got a larger cut in overall government spending than Democrats had wanted. The Democrats agreed to increase the total amount to be cut in exchange for Republicans accepting cuts in Pentagon spending that had been in Mr. Obama's budget.

The EPA thing is huge actually, as are the cuts to the Pentagon budget that the President requested and the Republicans opposed.
