It just has a single bugfix compared to 1.21, no new features.

Screenshot of Blender's "Playback" popover menu. It now has a Loop menu, with options "Infinite", "Stop at End Frame", "Stop at Start Frame", "Restore Frame", and "Bounce".

Loop control coming to Blender 5.2!

Now you finally have control over playback looping. Loop infinitely, or stop it at the end, at the start, or restore where you started playback from. And the most fun one: make it bounce!

Solid metal statue of Suzanne the Blender Monkey in a happy dance, arms over her head, standing on one foot. She's standing on the default cube, with the Blender logo on it.

I'm celebrating 10 years of being employed by Blender!

And after 10y, you don't get a watch, but something way cooler: a heavy metal (literally) statue of Suzanne 😻

Here's to many more years of being a small part in this awesome project! 🍻🥳
