There haven't been many changes, beyond some enhancements to the scrolling
behavior and the new "behave as background" option which changes behavior
somewhat.

What type of database object?  How did you add it?

Place Group and Remove Group are in the Object menu.  You need to turn on
the "behave as background" checkbox in the group properties palette.

This works as it did in 1.1.1 - you can view objects in the Application
Browser.  You can add objects to group by copying them in, or ungrouping and
then immediately regrouping with the new objects.
