Kris and Bernard, thanks for the info.
Some exciting new features, indeed.
Were any enhancements to the particles system (node based) and particle
shaders mentioned at all?
No. Remember though that everything they show us is a "tech preview". I imagine the stuff they show us is pretty far along so that means they have to release it in a given amount of time. Something thats still in some early phase of development, can't be shown to the public so who knows.
With regards to the animation and layers, does one have to still export
actions or has the NLA become more scene-based? Can this layering be applied
to deformations to get non-additive deformation blending?

Thanks
Nothing has changed. Imagine going to a drop down menu like passes and selecting a new "layer". When you do so, the timeline goes blank so you can add a new layer of animation. As soon as you add a keyframe, a key appears in the timeline and a clip appears in the mixer.
