Yes there was one in March which Google admitted was a problem so they went back and did a PR update in April. I do not know it the IBL part was done then as the issue dealt with PR in Big Daddy as to why they did another update a month later. Either way remember Google will visit a site pick up some pages come back pick up more. I would wait till after the next update (Julyish) and then in August reassess your position.
