Okay i while ago i came back from a non-blendering phase of about 6 months. i missed the release of 2.42-.43, which means i also means i missed how everything works. Can somebody direct me to help? documentation of some sort?
Just look at the wiki…
There have only been a few minor updates 
You can read about 2.42 new features here…

For 2.43 ( soon to be released ), a similar page will be available when it’s out there.
