12c New Optimizer Features

Besides the officially available information about new optimizer features in 12c it is always a good idea to have a look at the internal optimizer parameters that show what features are enabled when running with OPTIMIZER_FEATURES_ENABLE = 12.1.0.1. Here is the list of internal optimizer parameters and fix controls that are different between 11.2.0.4 and 12.1.0.1:

So there are lots of interesting things mentioned, in particular the Fix Control list contains some very interesting changes. I've highlighted those that at first glance looked interesting to me - and some of them, at least according to the description, seem to introduce significant changes to the CBO calculations and transformations. Time to repeat some existing test cases...
