What's new 8.2

...

Logical Forms (forms with no ui) can be extended now to become a absolute or a responsive form, so now you can have shared code between an absolute or responsive form.


Runtime

...

In Memory datasources have an onload event (in the table events tab) where you can attach a method (entity or global) that is called when the in mem is touched so that you can fill the datasource
so it is now more a pull stuff then a push that you needed to do at some point (like on solution load)

Named Foundset support, In the designer you can give a datasource of a form a name (besides 'separate'). This creates at runtime a foundset with that name that forms with the same name wil will reuse
also datasources.db.table.getFoundset("name") will return that specific instance. You can see this as a named (shared) seperateseparate

Client Manager plugin: A user plugin, has methods that the the maintenance plugin has but now usable in a normal solution.
Also has broadcaster functionality so clients can chat/talk to each other

...
