Retrieval of Planning & Budgeting data to desktop clients is now handled by a secure Planning API. This makes it possible to do planning (both submissions and reporting) over wide area networks where clients don't have direct access to the planning database (FC-2043)
The ERP type no longer needs to be specified when creating a planning data source, eliminating the possibility of setting the wrong type and encountering confusing errors later on. (FC-2082)
After saving a connection that includes planning, feedback is provided to the user while waiting for the initialization of the database to complete in the Admin web app. (FC-2025)
If a new version of the desktop app is available but not mandatory, the login dialog now includes a direct link to the installer, and announces this in a less intrusive manner. (FC-181)

Login didn't work when running FastClose Server under IIS using Windows Authentication. (FC-2040)
