The latest release is a workflow-focused update bringing support for snapping in the Hydra viewer. The update introduces 10 modes: snapping to vertices, edges, faces, objects, and locators.

Also, there's a Network Material Edit tool for artists to edit existing network materials, add or remove nodes from the shading graph, plus modify material parameters.
