Incremental changes from the initial release of 4.20.022* through the initial release of 4.20.023 are outlined below.
* Some of the changes listed were previously released as updates.
See Features & Enhancements in PowerShift 4.20 for more about PowerShift 4.20.
The names of new programs are preceded by * (asterisk); the parenthetical code that follows each description is a tracking code: PDEVnnnn is the notation for 4.20; P410nnnn indicates the change was also available as an update to PowerShift 4.10.028.
The "record is in use" message and subsequent prompt to see who has the record was replaced by a single message that identifies the user and terminal with the locked record. (PDEV8681)
Added warehouse and bin location as sort and selection options. (PDEV8661)
The format of the root element specified in XML import files
changed from including the actual PowerShift filename to a constant;
i.e., <PowerShift_XML>
replaces <PowerShift_filename>.

the difference between the prior and new formats:
Prior versions: |
<?xml
version="1.0" encoding="ISO-8859-1" <PowerShift_I1AE> <I1AE> |
This version forward: |
<?xml
version="1.0" encoding="ISO-8859-1" <PowerShift_XML> <I1AE> |
