Are you a #msdyn365bc developer, and do you like "oldschool" link lists across multiple BC versions with articles, blogs, videos, and extensions?

Then check Kai's list at www.msdynamics.de/viewtopic.ph...! Though the captions are in German, I'm pretty sure you'll find it useful anyway.

🆕:

Without any extra setup, Business Central environments automatically consume Copilot Credit capacity from the default Power Platform environment in your tenant. If needed, an admin can allocate a portion of the prepaid capacity to the default Power Platform environment to reserve it for consumption by all Business Central environments.

I don't encounter merge conflicts that often, but I will be happy to try resolving them by AI!

Visual Studio Code @vscode.dev · 6d

🔀 Resolve merge conflicts with AI assistance!

When VS Code detects merge conflicts, you can now get AI-powered resolution suggestions through an agentic Chat flow.

Tried to remember which Format() gives me a GUID without braces for the 7th time this month… so I made a quick AL Format() cheatsheet 🧠💡

Format Cheatsheet

This is a very quick cheatsheet for all the different formats that you get out of AL using the Format() function with various format options.

Be aware of change in #NuGet feeds for #MSDyn365BC - for standard apps MS is no longer using the "localization" tag in the name (it is not needed). It stays only in some cases on some test libraries, which still exists in multiple "localization" flavor. See github.com/microsoft/AL...

NuGet 26.5 and 27.0 not available · Issue #8124 · microsoft/AL

It seems quite a few NuGet packages are missing from public sources Looks like All 26.5 packages are missing (e.g. Application) - For some packages even 27.0 is missing (e.g. Business Foundation) @...

At least none of my installed extensions are still marked.

As a #vscode developer, you might experience that many of your extensions are now marked as "no longer available on the Extension Marketplace".
I suppose this will be fixed soon, and it is not related to the affected extensions:

As per github.com/anzwdev/al-c..., the latest version of the AZ AL Dev Tools/AL Code Outline extension for VS Code does not work properly. Please downgrade to version v15.76.0 for the time being.
