>
>
>
> *Organisation unit hierarchy performance:* Everything related to the org
> unit hierarchy, including loading of trees, assignment of data
> sets/programs, org unit search and analytics, now performs much better, as
> org units are now located in the hierarchy using database queries. A lot of
> performance improvements have been done in general based on profiling and
> monitoring.
>
>
>
> *Temporary resource tables:* Resource tables are written to temporary
> tables, then swapped with real tables when completed. This removes the
> timespan when no resource tables were present, causing trouble for SQL
> views and queries which depended on them.
>
>
>
> *Translations:* The French UI translation is now complete.
