What's new in CU14? First of all, as you might have read from my earlier blog, I hastily promised that I will no longer post NAV2018 CU teardowns any more, but it seems that Business Central and NAV2018 are walking their own paths now, so I will continue writing these until further notice.

Of course you can use shortcuts that point to spec...
