Dear community,

I'm excited to unveil the latest enhancements to your preferred development environment - SAP Business Application Studio, in our "Product Updates - February 2024 Edition" even though it's already March. Our continued progress is driven by your invaluable feedback, which guides us towards better clarity and higher standards. We know that we couldn’t have been where we are today without your consistent feedback, or as we prefer to call it - our roadmap to better clarity and increased perfection.

Startup Performance Improvement

We've listened carefully, taken note, and acted to address perhaps the one nagging issue our esteemed users have voiced consistently - the startup performance of the dev spaces. Balancing speed, consistency, and stability in the startup process, we are rolling out a significant improvement to transform the way you interact with our development environment.

Akin to a winning sprinter, our modified version of SAP Business Application Studio is designed to take off with speed; the startup time of a dev space has been substantially minimized for all dev space types, nudging a quantum leap forward.

In this version, performance isn't just about speed, but it is also a testament to our commitment to serve you better. With your invaluable feedback as our guiding star, we've refined and fine-tuned the application to deliver a performance that is not only better but also much more consistent. This implies a smoother, more harmonious experience, making the switch between various dev space types a breeze.

Stability is another cornerstone of our new version. We've rolled up our sleeves, meticulously ironed out the creases, and emerged with a platform that's more robust and resilient. With better stability, confined to the annals of history are frequent stalls and unexpected glitches, ensuring a more fluid experience to help you maintain your productivity groove and ensure you can work undisrupted.

Session timeout experience

We are equally excited to announce an upgrade in the session timeout experience. For developers engrossed in solving a complex coding problem, any inactivity over an hour or a connection glitch while working in SAP Business Application Studio won't disrupt your workflow anymore. A swift browser refresh will get you right back into your dev space, eradicating the need to navigate via the dev space manager. Additionally, if the dev space has stopped due to extended idleness, you'll be intuitively prompted to start it, completely bypassing the dev space manager.
