Developers are in high demand, and we want to continue to attract and raise the productivity of Business Central AL developers. We continue to focus on developing features that enable developers to work more efficiently. We also empower consultants, citizen developers, and users to do more to offload developers, increase agility, and lower cost of changes.

In this release wave, we continue the investment in our Visual Studio Code experience by adding visual abstractions on top of AL code, empowering developers and consultants to easily get an overview of, and navigate across, all the AL objects in a workspace or project. This helps understand the application boundaries better and easily jump to source or run objects. Developers are getting better compiler resource management and code analyzer performance, and the ability to attach with the normal debugger to user sessions.

We also empower AppSource publishers to release preview apps for select customers, have better runtime package handling, and monetize their apps via AppSource Marketplace. Finally, customers get the ability to add existing table fields to existing pages as no-code personalization or customization.
