Change log management event changes

On his blog, Stefano Demiliani wrote D365BC’s built-in change log feature lets you track any direct changes users make to the database, which is helpful for auditing. However, tracking changes can slow down performance and make the database larger, increasing both time and cost.

He stated that the change log is managed through the change log management codeunit, which also includes events for working with the change log. He then pointed out the two procedures in this codeunit. Demiliani noted that until D365BC version 25.2 these two procedures included some integration events that were triggered. 

I’ve recently discovered that some partners added their business logic or customizations by subscribing those two events. If [you're]one of those partners, be careful.

Demiliani then stated that beginning with D365BC version 25.3, Microsoft removed the integration events that he mentioned in his blog post.

This event removal can be an immediate breaking change for every partner that used those events for their customizations, so be prepared to refactor your code before upgrading to version 25.3.

Writing on the ERPSoftwareBlog, an author from x2x eCommerce stated that one of D365BC's most powerful features is the extension framework, which makes it highly customizable.
