The new version 2.41 of the open-source software Blender expands the game engine with features including GLSL pixel and vertex shaders. The ability to use multiple materials and UV maps puts an end to the previous restriction to a special material system. In addition, multiple viewports are now available, and Blender’s main tools have also been expanded (including a live-sculpting tool, various Python scripts, Python pose module).
A detailed list of the new features and improvements can be found on the Blender website (see link below).
