Planning now supports connections to multiple instances of your ERP, e.g. for different regions or companies, by associating each one with its own planning database.
The ability to submit a planning value for the calculated Balances measure of SAP B1 means Credit or Debit no longer have to be used. (FC-1906)
Submitting a planning value with SAP B1 is now possible using the separate Year and Period dimensions; you no longer have to use the combined Year And Period dimension. (FC-1945)
The 'Diagnose Planning Submission' context menu option has been relabelled 'Why Can't I Submit?' and a button for it has been added to the ribbon. (FC-1848)

The Excel Add-In ribbon has been tidied up, including moving the Logging Level option inside the new Add-In Options dialog. (FC-1894)

If the text in a column doesn't fit within the column width, a tooltip now provides the full content. (FC-1850)
The time taken to open reports which contain numerous relative member variables has been significantly reduced. A benchmark report containing 12 of those variables showed a factor of 20 improvement. (FC-933, FC-1904)
The Users page of the Admin web app loads much faster now, even when there are many users. (FC-1840)
FastClose Server, including the Scheduler, now supports sending email via an SMTP provider using OAuth 2.0 authentication. This is particularly relevant to those using Office for sending emails as Microsoft is progressively disabling legacy authentication methods. (FC-417)
When a licence is going to expire soon, the warning message now lists which modules the licence includes in case it's only a subset, e.g. part of a trial. (FC-1720)
The layout of the Discover Catalogs page has been improved to make it easier to select the desired catalog. (FC-1839)

Non-administrators could not edit restrictions for their own planning scenarios as the button remained disabled. (FC-1857)
Planning submission was not enabled if the first result row of the report was for an aggregated node or calculated member. (FC-1858)
The Dimension Security feature in the Admin web app offered internal, planning-related dimensions which it should not. (FC-1859)
Editing restrictions for a planning scenario allowed the user to choose members which should be excluded by their dimension security rules. (FC-1860)
Misleading validation error on opening a planning-enabled report when all planning tables related to the report's cube have been deleted. (FC-1861)
Unable to disable planning in a report when all scenarios for that report's cube have been deleted (FC-1862)
The Domain (i.e. cube) option of the Edit Planning Scenario dialog is now disabled if there is only one choice available. (FC-1876)

The planning database was being queried even when the report did not have planning enabled. (FC-1925)
Rules regarding which dimensions must be on the grid or filtered to a single member were not being correctly enforced, leading to submission being incorrectly enabled for some cells. (FC-1946)

It was possible to get into a state where the only hierarchy defined in the report was not active and not shown in the results even when the 'Rows Use' option was set to 'Hierarchy'. (FC-1351)
If a related member variable was invalid due to being out of range, using it in a range in a calculation expression resulted in an obscure error message on report run, instead of warning the user that the variable was out of range. (FC-1900)
The Edit Hierarchy dialog would let you leave with only label nodes in the hierarchy, leading to an error when running the report. (FC-1924)
The drill through context menu would sometimes display partially off screen. (FC-1849)
A problem re-using an existing authentication session with a FastClose Server which is configured for https has been fixed. (FC-1933)
Dragging and dropping a licence key file onto the Admin web app's Add Licence Key page didn't work in Chrome unless it was dropped right in the centre. (FC-1782)
If the Epicor API URL is incorrect a more helpful error message should be received. (FC-1808)
After changing a user's username, the old username would still be allowed to login, for a few minutes. (FC-1137)
