+- Output backend for the [[drawing add-on]]
+- Creates a JSON-like output according the [[GeoJSON]] scheme.
+- GeoJSON uses a geographic coordinate reference system, World Geodetic System 1984 [EPSG:4326](https://epsg.io/4326), and units of decimal degrees.
+	- Latitude: -90 to +90 (South/North)
+	- Longitude: -180 to +180 (East/West)
+- The GeoJSON format supports only straight lines so curved shapes are flattened to
+  polylines and polygons.
+- The properties are handled as a foreign member feature and is therefore not defined in the GeoJSON specs.
+	- It is possible to provide a custom function to create these property objects.

+- ## New output backends for the [[drawing add-on]]
+	- [[GeoJSONBackend]]
+		- Creates a JSON-like output according the [[GeoJSON]] scheme.

+- ## Selection Tools
+	- The [[ezdxf.select]] module provides entity selection capabilities, allowing users to select entities based on various shapes such as windows, points, circles, polygons, and fences.
+	- The selection functions `bbox_inside()` and `bbox_outside()` work similarly to the inside and outside selection tools in CAD applications but the selection is based on the bounding box of the DXF entities rather than their actual geometry.
+	- The `bbox_overlap()` function works similarly to crossing selection in CAD applications.
+		- Entities that are outside the selection shape but whose bounding box overlapps the
+		  selection shape are included in the selection.
+		- This is not the case with crossing selection in CAD applications.
+	- The selection functions accept any iterable of DXF entities as input and return an `EntityQuery` container, that provides further selection tools based on entity type and DXF attributes.
+	- Tutorial for the `ezdxf.select` module: <https://ezdxf.mozman.at/docs/tutorials/entity_selection.html>

+- ## New `ezdxf.revcloud` module
+	- The new [[ezdxf.revcloud]] module can render revision clouds similar to the `REVCLOUD` command in CAD applications.

+- ## New features for [[ACIS]] based entities
+	- Support for copying of [[ACIS]] based entities
+		- This adds support for loading these entities by the [[ezdxf.xref]] module
+	- Support for transformation of [[ACIS]] based entities
+		- The transformation is stored as temporary transformation and will be applied automatically before export.
+		- The applied transformation is a transformed anonymous block that contains that [[ACIS]] entity.
