Indeed, some nice changes and additions, especially the tagging of objects which I absolutely missed in D:OS 1.
But I wonder what this means in consequence:
The "Item(Handle)ToXXX" family of functions was greatly simplified.
The old functions were removed:
[...]
... and replaced by two functions:
ItemToTransform(STRING UUID, REAL X, REAL Y, REAL Z, REAL Pitch, REAL Yaw, REAL Roll, INT Amount, CHARACTER OwnerCharacter)
ItemTo(ITEM Item, STRING TargetObject, INT Amount)
[...]
GetItemForItemTemplateInInventory(CHARACTER Character, STRING Template, OUT ITEM Item)
Is the distinction of global and non-global items removed then? And would this last mentioned call be able to output several items for several stacks of an item template in inventory? 'GetItemhandleForItemTemplateInInventory(CHARACTER Character, STRING Template, OUT INT Itemhandle)' always returned the handle of one stack and therefore required to move the item handle out of inventory to return the handle of another stack.

Speaking of D:OS 1 EE: Is it possible to run out of handles here as well? I mean: what if I double or triple the amount of used effects, potions and statuses for an average playthrough through scripting, would I introduce a ticking bomb into the game?
And thanks for the great pool of information, Norbyte!
