From their site: For a list of new features: https://www.blender.org/download/releases/3-0/ The new updated Cycles X renders between 2 and 8 times faster. Geometry nodes have seen a dramatic update, and the new (much awaited) Asset Browser is another key new feature. An animation pose library is integrated. And of course a boatload of other improvements and bug fixes across the board.

Such an amazing update!! Going to play with it tonight 🙂

Yes it was removed in R24 but there is a workaround online that will let you use the R23 bridge in R24.

Yes...we all blame you when we decide NOT to take advantage of the deals highlighted on this thread. We would have been much happier in our ignorance. errr......NOT! Always knowing your options is best...so keep them coming and don't give it a second thought! Any controversy on the Black Friday Deal lays at the feet of the merchant and not you. It is a sad fact that it is the nature of some Merchants to present their Black Friday deals with more sizzle than steak. They seem like a huge deal but in reality, they do not live up the initial promise. There is no arguing with straight discounts --- but everyone should be a smart consumer when it comes to discounts on subscription plans that offer a bundle of services.... especially when those discounts are only available through purchasing other bundled subscription plans that have their own discounts. Is this an invitation to an all you can buffet or just a limited menu? If you can't figure that out until after you pay for the meal, then probably smart to give it a pass. The next big question should be: will I get the same deal next year? Is this a one-year benefit or just a ploy to get me locked into a subscription plan at standard cost. In short, it is easier to gas-light the consumer with the promise of huge savings or huge access to other products with a subscription plan because all those benefits can go away with anything you rent when the lease expires never to be available again with a future renewal. Here the old adage "if it sounds too good to be true, it probably isn't" applies. Discounts on perpetual products are just so much straight forward. Do you like the savings or not for what you are going to own? Dave

Why mixed feelings? 🙂 All users has own brain and thread it´s just reminder about deals around. I believe there´s a lot people who want to buy some software or plugins or hardware and has not a lot of money and every discount could help them (especially hobby users). It could help also developers to sell their products (maybe with lower profit, but still better than nothing) And lastly, nobody is not pushed to buy it, everyone decide by own...
