All in all, I think these are really good updates for things that I use a lot: Item envelopes, lossy rendering, and razor edits.

"add option to move or not move take envelope points when moving media item contents"

This is huge for sound design, where sometimes you want item envs to move with the content and sometimes you want them to stay put. Seen here with volume env, first with old behavior, then with new.

"support importing .adl (AES-31) project files"

Every once in a while, I'll work with a client who does a first pass of the audio in a DAW that uses or supports ADL session files. Now instead of converting this with AATranslator, I can open these files directly. Neat.

"when rendering to a lossy format like mp3 or ogg, calculate normalization and statistics based on the format-encoded signal...."

Reaper's render norming worked well for lossless, but lossy formats result in slight changes to loudness due to compression. This fixes that.

"add actions to remove unnecessary points"

Some editing workflows can lead to a lot of envelope points that are effectively doing nothing. A new custom action removes these points: "Envelope: Remove unnecessary points" Here I've made a button for it, but it's accessible in the actions list.

Previously razor editing only worked for item envelopes (shown first with volume envs). Now, it also works for item envs (shown second with item pan envs).

"allow editing track envelopes in media lane, media item take envelopes similarly to track envelopes"

Razor edits give the ability to select manipulate time/items/envelope points and in non-contiguous areas simultaneously. But the doing it in item envs wasn't previously possible.
