Erik Hougaard walks through the new release’s hottest features in his video, What’s planned for Business Central 2025 Wave 1, aka BC26.
Developers will be interested to know that this release will remove the tables and fields that were marked as Obsolete::Removed for more than one major release. This will occur every five major releases.
