If you mean 3.9 versus 3.8: yes, an the product self, of course. 
e.g. there is now an own layout manager which should be used for
custom panels. Most standard panels are changed to the new one,
HelloPanel contains some comments for it.

May be not in the manner you would. Last we have spoken about a tree
               |
            ----------------
            |              |
      --------        ---------------
      |      |        |             |
finish1 finish2      finish3    finish4

In the moment this is not possible (or may be with some hack's)

What I do is

                 | set IVar X or Y
        ---------------------------------------------
        | if ! IVar Y skip                         | if ! IVar X skip
        | set IVar A or B                          |
--------------------------                         |
| if ! ( Y && A) skip    | if ! ( Y && B ) skip    | if ! X skip
|                        |                         |
-----------------------------------------------------
        |
     finish 

No tree, else a river with side beds.
