Anyone noticed in the What's new document how they mention polygon priorities, polygon and net classes addition not as much as new features worth having as such but as needed in order to maintain full Eagle import compatibility? That's market competition working for you 
Yeah, it's nice they've fixed a few things, though I'm disappointed that it looks like their changes are being driven by Eagle import issues rather than the significant issues regularly being brought up by users.
For example if you go through the threads asking for support and look at the ones where there's simply no work around to a real problem, it's almost always because of a lack of effective filtered selection (i.e. the "find similar objects" or query panel in AD). This is a fundamental feature that can get you into a real pickle in some situations without. This has been popping up for at least a year, it's been acknowledged as an issue by Altium, yet there seems no willingness/priority to pull it back into the CS build from the AD line.
Then there's the mechanical side of things, a broken old version of their step file exporter (yep it has the bugs of the step file export from AD of almost a decade ago) and no DXF export. It's pretty sad there isn't a simple way of exporting a board outline and mounting hole locations to a CAD package.
