• Relation Editor uses the correct Icons when displaying MetaProperties now (consistent to Details View).
• DisplayList uses the correct Icons when displaying MetaProperties now.

• UBIK WebService provides detailed information about View Cache data including its loading performance
• Compiling the customizing does not copy symbol files to the project share anymore
• Staging (local compile) does not create a symbol file for the UI Customizing anymore.
• Staging (local compile) the customizing provides a symbol and the source file now. This is a prerequisite for debugging the customizing.
• Internal optimizations reduce the number of database accesses by far. This results in higher performance.
