As far as I know, 304's are normal.

That's what i thought to, but in the past it didn't get a 304, and for
the robots.txt it still doesn't.

All bots requesting robots.txt get a 200 and that file didn't change
either. ??


The 304 is a response generated by the webserver. You (probably) haven't
changed a thing. What might have changed is that Googlebot now with it's
request sends extra info, to which the server replies 304 (Nothing has
changed, everything is the same). I can check older files I have, but to
me a 304 is nothing weird or so but I don't know when Googlebot started to
send conditional requests (I hope from the very beginning, since it saves
bandwidth). You're not going to drop, etc. because of this.
