This point version is a stablity and hotfix release focused on new Compositor assets that come out of the box, new smart asset updates and apply operators, and much much love to the node editors.

This is part of all the latest from Blender 5.0.1 and 5.1.0 to the date - with 53 new fixes and polish with much stability from Blender!

⚠️ Warning: *.BlendFile formats from this version onwards will not be backwards compatible with earlier versions of Blender 4.5.x or Bforartists 4.4.x. It's a one way trip!
