Terminalfour: 8.2.16
- Date Released:
- December 6 2018
General
This release focused mainly on resolving issues for Workflow, Packages and Form Builder.
Under the ongoing Performance theme, we reduced the HTML generated for the site structure (RDSM-27335). This has had some good results:
- For a single collapsed section the HTML size has been reduced by 52%
- For a full Site Structure with 720 Sections the HTML size has been reduced by 49%
