And here it is: release notes

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Next update is scheduled for end of next week - some small but useful updates:

Status Values: Experience
The new Earn on Level Up option for None type experience values (i.e. not leveling base/class) will increase the experience like a Normal type status value on level up.
E.g. for getting ability points on level up to spend in ability trees :)
Camera Controls: Top Down Border Camera
The new Initial Damping option handles if position/height damping will happen when first adjusting the camera position to the player.
When turned off, the camera will be placed imediately at the player - avoids initial camera fades when the camera is far away from the player when spawning.
Input Keys: Mouse/Touch
The Input Handling options (and hold times) are now also available for mouse/touch input.
Battle Events, Battle Start Events, Battle End Events, Phase Change Events: Battle Steps
The new Mark As Temporary step will mark a combatant as temporary.
The new Remove Temporary step will remove temporary combatants from their groups.
E.g. useful for summoning game mechanics, allows removing all summoned combatants at the end of the battle.
Battle Events: Battle Steps
The Join Battle step also has a Mark As Temporary option to mark them upon joining.
The New Group option will create a new group for the joining combatant instead of adding him to an existing group. Includes a faction selection.
Battle Events: Battle Steps
The Leave Battle step gets a Remove From Group option to remove the combatant that's leaving battle also from the combatant's group.
Auto Status Effects
The auto effects are no longer limited to being added on initializing/battle start, allowing to use requirements.

Fantastic, those auto Status Effect changes will be extremely useful for anyone that needs to apply/remove status effects based on status conditions + variable conditions. (In my case, a specific status value only regens when the player is standing on the ground as opposed to in the air)
