Short description of error
Node groups no longer return 'GROUP' for any node tree type in the bpy API for the property bl_static_type. They all return an empty string. This was nice to have while programming so that I wouldn't have to have my addon check for all the different types of node group bl_idname's when looking for node groups. I believe all other nodes still work, though there might be some nodes my script didn't account for.

Script I used to test nodes:

import bpy

extra_nodes = (
    'NodeFrame',
    'NodeReroute',
    'NodeGroupInput',
    'NodeGroupOutput',
)

gnt = bpy.data.node_groups.new('GNT', 'GeometryNodeTree')
snt = bpy.data.node_groups.new('SNT', 'ShaderNodeTree')
tnt = bpy.data.node_groups.new('TNT', 'TextureNodeTree')
comp_nt = bpy.data.node_groups.new('CompNT', 'CompositorNodeTree')

type_names = dir(bpy.types)

gnd_types = [n for n in type_names if n.startswith('GeometryNode')]
snd_types = [n for n in type_names if n.startswith('ShaderNode')]
cnd_types = [n for n in type_names if n.startswith('CompositorNode')]
tnd_types = [n for n in type_names if n.startswith('TextureNode')]

def check_nodes(nd_types, label, nt):
    print(f"{label} Nodes:")
    for nd_type in nd_types:
        try:
            nd = nt.nodes.new(nd_type)
            if nd.bl_static_type == '':
                print(f"  - {nd_type}")
            nt.nodes.remove(nd)
        except Exception:
            pass

check_nodes(gnd_types, 'Geometry', gnt)
check_nodes(snd_types, 'Shader', snt)
check_nodes(tnd_types, 'Texture', tnt)
check_nodes(cnd_types, 'Compositor', comp_nt)

check_nodes(extra_nodes, 'Extras (Shader)', snt)
