Is that just really delayed news about the first direct observation of gravitational waves in 2015 or does that article actually contain new information?

No, that only picked up higher-frequency gravitational waves. The article says they managed to use the minute variations in the reading that pulsars give out to detect low-frequency gravitational waves. They haven't been able to triangulate any using this method however.
