Specify Plural and Singular Object Labels

When defining an object (for example, when creating an application), both singular and plural labels can be specified. (Previously, labels could be modified only after the object was created.)

More Intuitive Names for Lookup Fields

When defining an object relationship, the generated field name is now the singular version of the object name. When displayed in a Form, the field is more readily recognized by users.

For example, when a Lookup field targets the Customers object, the default name is customer. (Previously, the default field label was related_to_customers.)

Loop Variables Easier to Use in Print Templates

When defining a Print template, related records (records that have a Lookup to the current record) need to be processed in a loop, because multiple records in the related object could be pointing to the current record. Such variables are easier to spot, because related objects are listed at the end of the Template Variables category list, under the heading "Related". And they're easier to use, because they include the entire loop syntax. The entire line of code can then be pasted into the template or, if a loop is already in place, you can paste only the part that is needed.

Include Web Forms in an Application Package

When a Package is created, any Web Forms defined for the application can be included.
