| - Native indexed PHP arrays can now be passed into templates and iterated over with `<% loop $MyArray %>`. Under the hood they are wrapped in [`ArrayList`](api:SilverStripe\View\ViewableData), so you can get the count using `$Count` and use `<% if $ArrayList %>` as a shortcut for `<% if $ArrayList.Count %>`. Other functionality from `ArrayList` such as filtering and sorting cannot be used on arrays since they don't have keys to filter or sort against. | |||
| - Note that associative arrays will continue to be wrapped in `ArrayData`, which means you can access their values by key but may not be able to iterate over them. | |||

They are still wrapped if they're nested in an array/ArrayList - but you can't return them directly from a controller. I'm not sure if it's even worth mentioning assoc arrays here because their usage is inconsistent and confusing

Not worth mentioning, since the work to deal with those was split out into silverstripe/silverstripe-framework#11262
