Performance

There are various sources of performance improvement with this version.

  • Faster form editing and viewing.
  • HTTP overhead reduced for nearly every page by eliminating the bottom frame. Additional reduction on the home page with the attention list improvement. Further HTTP overhead and data transfer reductions by eliminating many graphics.
  • Faster logon and less memory use for each user session.

Codename

This is an exception from our planned development path to create the approval module for the engineering market. Approver is kind of like a Judge.

"If you don't get a lawyer who knows law then get the one who knows the Judge."

As we've done in the special situations of Wolf and Rockefeller, this version breaks our Solar System naming. We recently decided to end that codename theme around this point anyway.
