Hello David,

1 - No change on scale. Poser internally still uses the PNU. 

2 - On new tools there is now the Fitting Room and the Setup Room is improved. It can now also do the grouping. The functions for copying morphs and vertex weights are also available independently. RTEencoder is independent of Poser so it can be used as long as your computer supports it. 

3 - No changes to the cloth room, except that today's computers finally have the muscle to drive it. If you are interested in such a hybrid solution in Poser (pose conforming, dynamic post drape) let me know. I have 'proof of concept'  for Poser 12. There is AFAIK also a tool in the marketplace.
