Yoyo Games have released GameMaker 2.0.5.72. Primarily focused on IDE stability and exporting, there are several fixes and some solid new features in this release. Perhaps the biggest new feature is the addition of gesture support such as taps, drags and swipes, with the mouse acting as a single finger on desktop builds.
From the release notes:
