There is now a concept of PCB “points”, which are zero-dimensional objects you can place into footprints and PCBs. These can be used to place footprints at defined relative offsets, to mark important locations that can be snapped to, to mark THT footprint “centres” when using the IPC origin-at-pin-1 convention, etc.
E.g. this stackable THT battery holder can have the centre point defined, and can also have edge-to-edge snaps set up:
Points have a layer (and follow the usual snapping rules for All/Active layers via Shift+S and visibility based on that layer), and they have a “size”, which only affects the drawn size on the board.

PCB Design Blocks have been added.
Groups in both editors now have a concept of a “library link”, which links the group to a source design block.
Schematic groups can now be transferred to the PCB editor along with their members, and if a library link is present, this will be transferred to the PCB group, too.
PCB groups with a library link can have a number of operations applied using that link, such as Apply Design Block Layout:
