QuantumCoderQC added Improved Node Groups.
Note: Some points about the new system:

• Works and feels more Blender-like.
• Option to change socket names and socket order.
• Supports nested groups.
• Easy grouping and un-grouping in the Logic Node editor with dedicated buttons.
• Logic Node editor breadcrumbs to show node hierarchy.

After the update, exiting node groups in a file will automatically be replaced by new empty group nodes. One must select the nodes to be grouped and then use the side panel to group the selected nodes.

knowledgenude added Add Vec4 moveTowards function and a new logic node for it.

rpaladin added End frame for "Play Action From" node.
Note: Bone scaling animation is still unsupported, but there is an experimental branch being developed to officially incorporate it.

t3du added Logic Nodes: Array Filter and Array Display
