Wow, we had a busy year 2015 with Delegate365. Thanks to our customers and partners we got a lot of feedback to improve the service. As you see by the number of blogposts in 2015 (almost 40) we released updates of Delegate365 continuously and implemented a lot of useful features in the product in the last year. All customers get these updates automatically in their SaaS D365 tenant and benefit from the improvements. We collected feature requests and summarized and prioritized them internally. ...

In the last two months, from December until now, we were busy with improving Delegate365. We did not communicate much in that time here because we did a lot of work in maintaining and optimizing the core project and not in features. Currently, we are still testing the new, improved version which will be rolled out mid of february for all D365 tenants. Customers will benefit from optimized code and better performance, specially in the SyncOp and from optimized loading times in lists in D365. We will post a list of some new features and improvements here shortly!

We also updated some interfaces since the blog feeds other channels, now with other WebAPIs than the built in ones. ...
