There are many improvements to the core. Off the top of my head:

* $@ (mentioned in the OP of this thread)

* preset_hub/preset_node

* [trigger bang 0] (constant args in trigger)

* introspection objects: [pdinfo] [canvasinfo] [objectinfo] [classinfo]

* matju's one-liner that adds a "clear" method for [delwrite~]

* the continually-requested $0 inside message boxes

* I think Ivica added [list cat]...
