The schematic break command has had some bug fixes, and is now a repeated-until-cancelled command so the normal uses are more ergonomic:
Groups in the schematic can be automatically applied to the board:

Dark mode is now available in Windows nightly builds as an experiment
It staying in KiCad builds depends on the presence of bugs that may occur in wxwidgets 3.3
Note: A dark Schematic Editor color theme must be manually installed from the PCM and then set in order to have something more pleasant on the eyes

Footprints can now specify objects on defined inner layer, and can also opt into any set of user layers rather than just four. E.g. this footprint has a shape on In2 (orange) and a rule area on In1 (green):
To use this, you must define a specific stackup for the footprint by choosing the number of copper layers and adding any user layers that you want.
Layers are 1:1 with the board layers. Objects defined on layers that don’t exist on the board are not shown, but remain in the footprint on the board and will be used if you increase board layers.
If you do not set a stackup, the default is the current behaviour where rule areas on In1 are “expanded” to all inner layers.

Why can’t I click on that object?!?!
If the selection filter is blocking your ability to click on anything, a little flash will let you know which filter is doing the blocking.
