You can check out the full patch notes and for GZDoom 4.8.1 here. There are many welcome improvements, such as further for the Vulkan renderer, but it's the new options for mirrors that are particularly intriguing. Aside from improving reflection within Doom, the update adds the "+ONLYVISIBLEINMIRRORS" and "+INVISIBLEINMIRRORS" flags for modders to use. Essentially, these add the option for characters to either only appear in mirrors or have no reflection in mirrors.
As you might imagine, these tweaks open the door for some possibly terrifying encounters, as if Doom didn't have Silent Hill-type Doom mod like that.
