There is the new orbit style Free Turntable.

It is now possible to set a default transparency for new Part or PartDesign objects in the Preferences.

This prevents unwanted value changes while scrolling, as was already the case for spin and combo boxes.

Value changes with the mouse wheel in 'input fields' (a widget type used to enter values in task panels, for example by Draft Line) are disabled if the widget doesn't have the focus and the ComboBoxWheelEventFilter parameter is enabled.

Commands to store and recall a temporary working view have been added.

The button for What's This? has been moved to the new Help toolbar. The buttons for Cut, Copy and Paste have been moved to the new Clipboard toolbar. The buttons for Undo, Redo and Refresh have been moved to the new Edit toolbar. They can be re-added by customizing your toolbar.

The buttons for Print and Edit Mode have been removed from the File toolbar.

The workbench selector can now optionally be put in the menubar instead of the toolbar area.

The display style of measurement results created using the Part or PartDesign workbench can now be changed in the preferences. This is useful for assemblies where intersections of touching objects can sometimes not be avoided due to numerical issues. The Section Cut tool now allows to cut intersecting objects. Persistent section cut of intersecting objects. Pull request #7876, Pull request #8266, Pull request #8646 and Pull request #9356. Several new parameters have been added, see the Navigation Cube page for more information. The Mini-cube menu now includes a checkbox to toggle the movability of the cube. Default font selection and sizing has been improved. Borders have been added around the buttons. Corner faces have been made hexagonal and larger so that they are easier to click. The cube is no longer shown in perspective if the 3D view is in orthographic view mode. Users with the old scheme enabled will be warned on startup. The older format ( FCStd#) is deprecated and will be removed in a future version. The default backup file naming scheme is now FCBak.
