1.04 is out early. More national flags, spectator capability, "Utopia" (might... be the new arena? I'm not sure). DLC coming on the 13th. (LOOOL! Do not buy the DLC before Thursday... If you do, your matches won't work until then. )
I hope we actually are getting cross-play parties this month... I haven't seen what I consider concrete confirmation that we're getting it at all.
Edit: WTF?!?!?!?.....
Added 3v3 Team Ranked as a replacement for 3v3 Solo the Online match queue
Good
Ranked matches will no longer start if the game is not full
Looks like spectate mode doesn't work in matches above 3v3...
Added “Vote to Forfeit” button to “Ranked” online matches

You can finally search for a new ranked match at the end-game screen: @rocketleague via twitter BTW, the 1.05 Update (available in 2 weeks or less) will add the "Find New Match" option to Ranked endgame screen (sorry it took so long)
PC players can filter PS4 players: @rocketleague via twitter Fun Fact: When our next update hits (in two weeks or less), PC players will be able to filter PS4 players out of their matchmaking search
Usernames displayed as ********* will be fixed @rocketleague via twitter @krisvinesgames Yep. v1.05 will correct the issue that caused PC players to appear nameless to PS4 players following suspend/ resume
Broken textchat will still work after coming from suspend mode on PS4 @rocketleague via twitter @krisvinesgames PS4 Text chat will properly work after suspend/ resume in v1.05 too
Season 1 finally starts with 1.05 @rocketleague via twitter @andreas0013 Season 1 will start with our next update
There will be a music player in the game to switch between the game's music tracks @rocketleague via twitter FUN FACT: Our next update (in two weeks or less) will add a music player interface to menu screens so you can cycle through the game's tunes Improved savegame corruption protection @rocketleague via twitter @nategraphics Unfortunately, there's not much we can do after the fact, but v1.05 will have improved corruption protection to help Changes/improvements to Utopia will happen in 1.05 as well @rocketleague via twitter @ultimatetj Not in the very next one, no. But we will be making some updates/ fixes/ refinements/ changes to Utopia in there
Middle east servers will still come at some point (questioned on twitter): @rocketleague via twitter @metchi_metchi Still TBD. Ran into some logistical snags with those. Still in the plans, though
A new flag will be included as well @rocketleague via twitter By pop. demand (and as @dunhamsmash promised Kevin on his show) the @attack flag is coming to Rocket League in 1.05! supercreative.tv/rocketleague/ Chivalry: Medieval Warfare Flags will be in too! Thanks to crackerbears for the heads up. Source: Steam: Rocket League

Season 1 has started Rewards at the end of the season, but only for Silver, Gold, Platinum (not Bronze for some reason) Seasons last several months (instead of just 1 like Hearthstone)
You can now find a new match right after a Ranked match
Utopia tweaks (you can finally see the walls hopefully, though honestly it didn't really bother me and I kinda liked not being able to see it just on that map.) Oh and no more leaving the arena, which I was never able to pull off...
A lot more country flags and community flags and the Chivarly flags
Apparently there was PS4 controller audio? Never noticed actually, but it's been turned off by default and you can turn it back on.
Annoyingly, it doesn't allow you to use any other parts with it...
Gotta protect that brand ya know...
Now, I think it only switches to flight mode in actual boosted flight... However, it seems like the flames get laid out not only when you hit supersonic (I think), but also appear when the smoke clears when you get destroyed by an opponent.
The effect for reaching supersonic seems a bit less detracting as well, but... also less obvious if you're actively trying to time supersonic, which... I never do. A non-issue probably and more of an advantage since it's less distracting.
Also, it might just be a visual bug, but lightning also appears when you're destroyed. However, it's a separate effect from the smoke boom. I think they're always supposed to appear mixed together, but I saw once where it was just the lightning with no smoke. I think it was a rendering bug. Because I think I've seen destructions before with no smoke.
