.Release Notes v2019.3
Release 2019.3 is now available. This patch contains a number of bug fixes and refinements. We will begin scheduling 2019.3 updates on customer Test systems starting May 29th, 2019.
Notable Changes
The most significant change to PCR-360 we have made in this release affects all grids and pickers in the application. By default, the grid count is now disabled on all grids and pickers. We have made this change in order to drastically improve performance by reducing the grid load time across the application. In our testing, we found some grids load, on average, twice as fast, or more. We believe this change will improve the overall usability of the application and allow our users to complete their work more efficiently. Please review the documentation (linked in the release notes below) to see how the grid functionality has changed with this release.
