-
Changes to the Sage CRM database schema.
-
Updates to metadata, including captions and configuration-level adjustments.
-
Differences introduced since the previous release.
For anyone planning or validating an upgrade, this makes it much easier to understand the true technical scope of a release and distinguish between functional changes and structural changes.
