Aside from just bug fixes for this beta Join has a new approach for its tolerance measurement, where for larger objects it will scale up the joining tolerance (the maximum distance that edges are allowed to be apart before they will be glued together) to be relative to the size of the object's bounding boxes.

That can help a lot with joining objects that are of a larger unit size.

These will definitely be coming! I actually wanted to get a construction plane mechanism in for this release but I just did not manage to find enough time to squeeze it in yet.
