Our focus with these releases is on bringing powerful new extensibility features that empower developers to create adaptable, resource-efficient solutions while offering greater flexibility to meet evolving business needs.

With the introduction of the ability to define profile extension objects, developers can modify and customize user profiles without duplicating code, enhancing productivity and maintaining code integrity. Developers can also now include resources in extensions and access them from AL, streamlining data initialization and setup. Enhancements to the Explore in Visual Studio Code feature allow seamless access to GitHub repositories, making it easy to pull, inspect, or hotfix code versions, even with IP protection in place. The full-text search metadata on table fields allows developers to provide data search capabilities that deliver faster, more accurate results to boost user satisfaction and efficiency.

Resellers and publishers can save time when they validate their solutions by running multiple AppSource apps through a public NuGet feed that provides downloadable symbols and AL-Go for GitHub handling this automation. Additionally, a rule-based scheduling mode for performance profiling enables background profiling to pinpoint and address performance issues, reducing troubleshooting time.
