What features do you mean?

the new 1.20

There are no differences between the 1.20 and the 1.18.
The 2D backgound image isn´t part of the 1.20 SDK.
Architectural glas is integrated since 1.12 i think.
The only one which is not in this plugin, is a new deep channel, which is only for error checking.

You can also read the differences between 1.18 and 1.20 here at the bottom of the first post:

No wonder! Octane is still missing a proper up-to-date manual !!!
i am tired of spending days in the forum to find features that could be explained in a few words in a manual.

When Octane 1.0 was officially released, it came with a manual (v 2.56) which was
about a year old!!!!

Then, together with v 1.01 a manual update was done (after about one year!)
When i went through it, I realised that there were still many things missing.
and now, version 1.18 comes with manual 1.10.....

Andrey, i am not blaming you! You are doing an outstanding job!
Keeping the manual up to date is something that could be done by an intern

Please, otoy Team, provide someone who supports Andrey with keeping the manual up to date!!!

I agree about the manual..

No documentation is becoming Fashionable among the SDK Gurus club,
They just love to watch the Poor users suffering, While they deliver
info with one line on the forums with a contemptuous tone of,
How didn't you know that ?, was published in the version 1,14c topic X etc...
Otoy , get them a human being assistant , allowing them to comunicate with other humans ,
and, more important, make tutorials , Please.
But no worries , Unbiased Rederers are supposed to be easy.

No, that´s not true. Andrey is actually very patient with every one of us ignorant fools.
BUT a proper manual would save Andrey a lot of time he has to spend on answering all the stupid questions! Seriously!
