Perhaps the biggest highlight for many here is that cheats are now accessible via the pause menu, while ultrawide support is also now available - although apparently (we haven't tested it ourselves) it kind of already worked before.
Anyway, there's plenty of good stuff in here - we'll throw the full patch notes for this DOOM update below:
