addedFirst off, we've done a bunch of polishing to the UI 1.5 update. You'll notice a lot of work to the new Quick Menu, mostly in regards to fixing bugs, adjusting annoyances, and other stuff. We've also slipped in some fixes to the Camera while we were in there. This release was always planned to be the "Hey, our community's had a bit to test stuff out, let's tweak things based on what they said." So, here we are! We're doin' it!
addedNext, we've introduced VRChat Plus Gifting!
addedWe've also introduced the US East region! We've got new servers running in Virginia, USA, which not only should help people living in that area with a bit of improved voice and IK latency, but also allow NA and EU bridge the Atlantic gap a little bit more reasonably! You can choose to create a new instance in the US East region the same way you'd choose to create an EU or JP region instance.
addedThere's also some new FBT menu options, UI tweaks, camera fixes and... uh... okay, there's a LOT in this update. Kitchen-sink style. Fixes, improvements, changes, all that jam. I could go on and on, but really, you should just read our patch notes. Which you were going to do anyways , right? 🙃
addedFeaturesAdded VRChat Plus gifting! Click on a user, click "Gift VRC+", and spread the love! - For now, only Steam users can purchase, but any VRChat user can receive a gift - Users with an active subscription cannot receive a VRChat Plus gift - Gifts can be a 1 Month VRChat Plus credit, or a 1 Year VRChat Plus credit. They do not recur - Working on bringing gifting to Oculus soon!
addedFeaturesAdded the Camera to VRChat on Quest! - Unfortunately, due to performance issues, the "depth of field" focusing effect is not available - Images are saved in the Quest's Pictures folder under VRChat, and can be accessed via the Quest's OS. They can also be accessed via connecting your Quest to your PC and looking under the `Pictures/VRChat` folder

You can now send a non-recurring gift of a month or a year of VRChat Plus to your friends! Open your Quick Menu, click your friend, then click "Gift VRC+". 🎅 We plan on getting this working on Oculus as soon as we can, hopefully before the holidays. Fingers crossed! 🤞
