Microsoft Dynamics NAV 2016 introduces breakthrough changes to the development and deployment experiences. You can read about them on our blog.
New C/AL Editor
The C/AL editor has been redesigned to make it more convenient by extending functions.
IntelliSense was implemented which adds: name completion, improve highlighting and colorization.
Multiple Namespaces on XMLport

Improved creating of user permissions
Creating of the permission has been enhanced by Code Coverage. It allows to create permissions on the fly through steps which are recorded. Based on this analysis the appriopriate permissions will be created.
To record steps there need to be created new or existing Permission Set. There is new function Run to enable. When option will be enabled steps performed in program will be recorded.
After stop of performing operations and recording there will be generated list of objects that were used. For objects there were assigned proper privileges that are needed during operation.
