Not that I could find, other than the grapple rules.
Interestingly, I noticed a small unrelated detail when looking at the movement rules: diagonal movement no longer costs extra speed.

That was already the case. Extra cost on diagonal moves is an optional rule in the DMG, but not the default.

A cost for diagonal movement only makes any sense to begin with if playing on a square grid: for theater of the mind play, it is absurd.

And even if it "makes sense" from a physics point of view, playing in a non-euclidean world is just vastly, vastly easier when you start dealing with 3-D combats and flying opponents. Having to calculate the "actual" distance an enemy is away if they are 45 ft away to the north-east while 35 ft in the air is just not worth it compared to saying "45 ft away, that is long range on your thrown weapon"

New question:
On D&D Beyond they say Warrior of Mercy Monk can now only use Flurry of Healing Hands a number of times equal their Wisdom Modifier per Logn Rest, except...2014 Mercy Monk does not have an ability named this way, just Flurry fo healign and Harm. Am I correct to assume this refers to healing ability of the Flurry of Healing and Harm?

I find this discovery funny, since this has been the case since 4e. Glad they didn't backtrack to 3e on this.

lv11 feature, Flurry of Healing And Harm, no focus cost for Harm/Heal during Flurry, can replace multiple attacks with Heal.
It's a really tame lv11 feature, because you're past the Ki-starved phase of your life by then (and base lv3 Heal already allowed you to replace one attack of a Flurry at no extra cost).
'You can use these benefits a total number of times equal to Wismod...' which to me reads like 'you replaced 3 attacks with 3 heals, that's 3 uses'. I think that practically, unless you're needed for an emergency heal right now, this is just a 'you get this many free Hand of Harms per day when flurrying'.

Heh... the first time I read about the rule in 4e, I winced. After the first session of play, I didn't care anymore. It works fine on the typical scale of a D&D combat.

House ruling Euclidean distance measurements is one of the first things I changed in 5e. But I understand why it’s not core - not everyone can do Pythagoras in their heads.
