 * Menu categories were rearranged (this work is still ongoing).
 * Blender's new UI does not support tabs in the left (T) panel anymore; so we have new UI for node toolbar, which can be optionally shown in the T or N panel; in T panel, there is also a search function. Refer to #2553 for more details.
 * There are now icons for (almost) all nodes for use in the toolbar or in the menu.
+* Categories are now supported for user-defined presets.
 * Old menu shortcut (Ctrl+Space) was changed to Alt+Space to do not conflict with Blender's new standard shortcut.
 * Current GitHub's requirements for gist creation are supported (one can not create anonymous gists programmatically anymore) — see [the wiki page](Set-up-GitHub-account-for-exporting-node-trees-from-Sverchok) for details.
+* "Object In" node now has "MaterialIdx" output - an index of assigned material for each face of the mesh; "BMesh Viewer" has "Material_idx" input to assign material index of each face.
+* Several nodes (Adaptive Polygons, Remove Doubles, Bevel etc) now have "FaceData" input and output. It allows you to pass arbitrary per-face information, and it is processed correctly along with faces.
+* Set of examples distributed with Sverchok was reconsidered; some of them were removed, some ported to work on 2.80 branch.

 # Updated nodes
 
@@ -63,7 +80,14 @@ The following nodes have received a massive functional update:
 * "Adaptive Polygons" is now Mk2. It received bug fixes and a lot of new features — see #2647 and #2663.
 * "Extrude separate faces" node now has a possibility to provide face transformation by an arbitrary matrix — see #2659.
 * "Intersect edges" `sweeping line` algorithm of finding edges intersection in 2D mode was added - #2623
+* "Mesh Expression" node now can generate arbitrary per-face and per-vertex data (for example, vertex colors and face materials information).
+* "Extrude edges" node is now Mk2 and allows you to extrude selected edges only.
+* "Mirror" node is now Mk2 and has some new options — see #2741.
+* New options were added to the "Bevel" node, which appeared in the recent Blender versions.
 
+# Miscellaneous
+
+* A new "Turtle API" module (`sverchok.utils.turtle`) was added, for script nodes to describe complex face selection patterns — see #2760.
