Notes
In this week's release there's lots of improvements for the Instances Bar, including a range of additions, changes and bug fixes. It's still a relatively new feature and so work continues to make sure it's robust and does everything you want it to.
Other than that there's a few other miscellaneous bug fixes, and some performance improvements both for the editor loading time, and the runtime event sheet performance. Happy testing!
