Mars Express has found more evidence of early water on Mars.
Quote:
Substantial quantities of liquid water must have been stably present in the early history of Mars. The findings of OMEGA, on board ESA's Mars Express, have implications on the climatic history of the planet and the question of its 'habitability' at some point in its history.
These conclusions were drawn thanks to data on Martian surface minerals obtained by OMEGA (Observatoire pour la Mineralogy, l'Eau, les Glaces et l'Activité), the visible and infrared mapping spectrometer on board ESA's Mars Express.

I think hopes of finding
any sort of life on Mars are dashed now, but I guess in the future they might find evidence of past-life through fossils etc.
