Path Deform SOP deforms geometry to follow the shape of a curve.

Chain SOP repeats one or more pieces of geometry along a curve.

Attribute From Pieces SOP creates an attribute controlling what piece will be copied to points, randomly or based various rules.

Mask by Feature SOP creates a point attribute “mask” based on visibility/lighting, letting you limit the effect of other nodes to areas that are visible, or facing a certain direction, or in shadow.

Scatter and Align SOP scatters points across a surface with randomized scale and orientation attributes for use with Copy to Points.

Point Deform SOP deforms geometry on an arbitrarily connected point mesh.

New Attribute Adjust Float SOP, Attribute Adjust Integer SOP, and Attribute Adjust Vector SOP for randomizing/noising/conditioning attribute values.

The Attribute Noise SOP was rewritten to work with attributes at all levels (detail, primitive, point, vertex) and be more convenient and powerful.

Topo Transfer SOP deforms a surface to match the size and shape of another surface.

Attribute Paint SOP has improved user interface.

Poly Bevel SOP has improved bevels and more convenient interaction in the viewer. You can ⇧ Shift-click edges in the viewer to add them to the bevel, and ⌃ Ctrl-click edges to remove them. You can also easily add loops, change the bevel size and the number of divisions in the viewer.

UV Flatten SOP is redesigned and now performs island straightening.

Bend SOP can now mirror the bend across the start plane using the Deform in Both Directions parameter. Also fixed some edge cases with Bend handle interactions.

The grouping nodes are faster and respond more quickly to interruption by the ⎋ Esc key.

The geometry spreadsheet now has an option to display values with full numeric precision.

Many more SOP node types are now compile-able.

When the Bound SOP creates a transform attribute it now sets the attribute type to Matrix instead of None.

The Transform Pieces SOP now supports getting transforms from packed primitives in the second and third inputs.

Enumerate SOP now takes a piece attribute to enumerate elements of the pieces separately.

SOP geometry now supports dictionary attributes, an attribute type where each element (point, vertex, primitive/face, or the whole geometry/detail) can store a key/value map.
