1. David Hilbert, the first p23 and different oscillator period in half a decade (Luka Okanishi and Aidan F. Pierce)
2. Glider syntheses, both of which spanned a large period of time and collective effort
3. Remini, a universal constructor based puffer, purely made with p30 technology. (Michael Simkin)
4. Spider syntheses - the largest elementary spaceship syntheses to date, and the first syntheses of a c/5 spaceship [original syntheses by Martin Grant, with reductions by Goldtiger997, and many others]
5. 47575M and relatives, a record-breaking non-switch-engine-based methuselah (Adam P. Goucher)
6. Dueling banjos. used to drastically reduce many gun periods [Apple Bottom]
7. Sparky p13s and variations, allowing for bumpers and other mechanisms (Bullet51 and Aidan F. Pierce)
8. Mountain range patterns, patterns exhibiting irregular and inconsistent growth (Dean Hickerson)
9. Stable variant of cyclotron (Goldtiger997, with earlier work by Dean Hickerson, Paul Callahan and Adam P. Goucher)
10. Knightwave stabilization, allowing for an infinite amount of distinct knightships (Matthias Merzenich)
11. 230P8, high-clearance p8 domino sparker [Arie Paap]
12. 46P4H1V0 synthesis and gun (Tanner Jacobi, Matthias Merzenich, Martin Grant, and Goldtiger997)
13. R49, a very useful and compact pre-Herschel turner/advancer [Entity Valkyrie, Luka Okanishi]
14. p49 oscillator by Martin Grant (based on a glider-supported version found by Jason Summers which was mentioned by Matthias Merzenich), the first known p49 that isn't a glider loop. 
15. New gun designs
16. Systematic survey of small patterns particularly Bunnies 10a which broke a long-standing record for population 10 methuselahs.
17. p250 c/10 orthogonal rake by christoph r, the first c/10 rake with a period below 320, as well as the lowest period so far achieved for a c/10 rake.
18. Slavic, the current smallest universal-constructor based quadratic growth. (Pavel Grankovskiy)
