Agreed with Luke – still supported, just not for purposes that it has been known for in the past (PR sculpting). It’s still good to use signals to tell the search engines what’s worth following and what it not, just not in excess or for other purposes.

Re. Nofollow, it is still supported, but works in a different way now, meaning it shouldn’t be used as aggressively as many were doing some months ago

Let meaningful search engine index kind and each product in just first kind ,
Google has announced recently they do not support nofollow to be suitable for the inside to join one to belong to.

Rachel you made some good points, but with one I must disagree. You said to nofollow calendar links. Google recently announced that they do not support the nofollow attribute for internal links. Or did I misunderstand something?

One good model to use is that pages are either a) navigation, or b) end-content. e.g. you have product category pages, and you have product pages. For category pages, it makes sense to let search engines index categories such that every single product is in exactly one category — search and sorting parameters can then be accessed through a single nofollowed parameter, so you only bleed a tiny bit of link juice.
