EDIT : TWRP v2.8.5.0 changelog from v2.8.1.0

What's new in 2.8.5.0:

Scale the GUI - TWRP can read the theme's resolution and scale it up or down to fit the theme to your screen's resolution

Backups can now be cancelled while the backup is in progress (does not include restore because we don't want to leave your device in a bad state)

Improve thread handling and move input handling into the main rendering thread to improve stability

Make MTP work even if unplugged and plugged back in

Unify scrollable list code and make kinetic scrolling feel more natural

Fix handling of mapped zip files for OTA updates (CM12 updater)

USB keyboards should now work on all devices that support USB host mode via a USB OTG cable

Other small fixes and improvements

What's new in 2.8.4.0:

Add flashing of boot and recovery images via the TWRP GUI (Find the Images button on the Install page)

Fix some MTP related crashes and bugs

Eliminate TWRP toggling USB IDs during boot if MTP is enabled

Fix various adb sideload issues

Improve threading of actions

Eliminate separate thread for screen timeout

Update libblkid to 2.25.0

Use power button as back button on watch themes for easier navigation

Add mutex locking to data manager

Improve custom theme handling on encrypted devices

Allow the stock theme to be offset by build flags so we can center a lower res theme on a higher res screen especially for watches with round screens

What's new in 2.8.3.0:

MTP fixes and improvements - you can now copy zips to the root of storage - thanks to _that

MTP will now tell the host PC that storage is removed instead of disabling MTP completely

MTP will now report the correct max file size based on the file system in use to the host PC (may fix transfer of large files)

Update and improve fix permissions and make fixing contexts optional

Update SuperSU in TWRP to 2.40 and update install process

Make TWRP work properly on AArch64 (Nexus 9 is now built in true 64-bit binaries and libraries)

Attempt to set correct permissions and contexts on all files placed in storage so backups will show in Android

Fix kernel panic during MTP start on some devices

Support unicode fonts on devices with True Type Font support

Fix slider value not showing sometimes (vibration settings page)

Toggle MTP off during adb sideload to set correct USB IDs

Reduce library requirements for 5.0 L decrypt

Other minor fixes and improvements

What's new in 2.8.2.0:

MTP fixes and improvements - you can now copy zips to the root of storage - thanks to _that

Pull in all changes from Android 5.0 lollipop into TWRP

Add decrypt support for Android 5.0 lollipop encrypted partitions including automatic decrypt when the default_password is in use

Revert some changes to exFAT that were breaking exFAT support on some devices

Other minor fixes and updates

Note: At this time we do not have a GUI representation for pattern unlock. You can still decrypt patterns though by translating the pattern dots to numbers. The pattern dots correspond to numbers in the following pattern:

1 2 3

4 5 6

7 8 9

So an upper-case L would translate to a password of 14789 entered on the keyboard. Eventually we plan to add a proper pattern unlock to TWRP but it is a relatively low priority at this point.
