The update now supports geometry import via Alembic, FBX and OBJ, 3ds, and Collada. GPU optimization enormously reduces rendering times for complex shaders, Ambient Occlusion, particle systems, and so on. Another key feature is the ability to work with different integrated 3D renderers in one project and thus edit different parts of a scene. The integrated Render Manager and scripting engine now support Python 2.x/3.x as well as Lua. The Dimension stereo and Optical Flow toolset is now integrated.
Here is an overview of the individual features:
