New features:
- Exporting now sets the IFC file if unset for convenience
- IFC CSV now supports modifying IFC classes
- You can now set facet tolerances when importing
- Experimental native roundtripping mode, for experimentation only, with style support
- Visit wiki link in the add-on now points to specific BlenderBIM Add-on pages
- Material property sets are now imported
- IFCClash now optimistically skips coincident collisions, resulting in less false positives
- Increased maximum contact threshold for IFC Clash allows clash detection to work for larger projects
- IFC clash now uses iterator when a filter is specified for faster clashing
- Auto add owner histories when the user exports IFC2X3 if none is specified
- Classification trees are now stored in the Blend file, increasing portabilty of project data
- 16 New IFC visual programming nodes for Sverchok, including:
- Read IFC node
- Create IFC node
- Write IFC node
- Create Entity node
- By ID node
- By Guid node
- By Type node
- By Query node
- Select Blender Objects node
- Create Shape node
- IFC Add node

- Generate IFC Guide node
- Read entity node
- Get property node
- Get attribute node
New fixes:
- Fix bug where spatial elements with a representation would import twice
- Fix bug where box representations don’t respect project units
- Fix IFC clash bug where spatial elements are unaffected by user filters
- Fix bug where you can’t export if a classification is only applied to a type or spatial element
- Fix export bug where you can’t export if project units aren’t explicitly set
