- Maximum size for unlimited length data decreased to 1Gb in IBM DB2 database management system and data logging introduced. When an Infobase is converted from the previous versions or when an Infobase is loaded from file, the maximum length of unlimited length data is reduced. Infobase file conversion or loading will be aborted if such an Infobase contains the unlimited length data with its actual size larger than 1Gb.
- In 1C:Enterprise server debugging mode (launched using /debug parameter) configuration objects are loaded when required, unlike regular server operation mode, when all configuration objects are loaded. Thus configuration startup is accelerated.
- In attributes, which are not stored in the Infobase, it is allowed to use all available types, excepting Characteristic.<Chart of characteristic types name>, to create composite type of attribute.
- New approach to operations with text templates files. A separate templates file is used for every 1C:Enterprise script variant. It is not recommended to store custom templates files in the 1C:Enterprise installation folder. Standard templates can not be modified.
- Totals split attribute is now enabled by default for new accumulation and accounting registers. When database configuration is updated, totals split attribute is enabled for such registers as well. When a new Infobase is created in a configuration that has totals split enabled for the registers, this attribute will also be enabled for the respective registers in this new Infobase. The behavior remains unchanged in the 8.1 version compatibility mode.
- Subsystem metadata object storage manner changed in the configuration. After conversion from the previous versions for the Infobases connected to the repository, the subsystems will be displayed as new objects. It is required to lock the metadata root object and locate the subsystems to the repository.

When such a character is added interactively, the entry of the character is ignored while when a text is pasted from the clipboard, the invalid characters are dismissed and will not be contained in the pasted text.
- The behaviour of the XSLT mechanism when transforming HTML tags has been modified. The XSLT mechanism optimizes HTML according to http://www.w3.org/TR/xslt standard, described in Chapter 16.2 HTML Output Method.
- When using tools for working with HTML it is not allowed to use the <TABLE> element as child of the <P> element. In such a way the <P><TABLE></TABLE></P> construction is transformed to the <P></P><TABLE></TABLE> after processing. This behaviour corresponds with the HTMLstandard (http://www.w3.org/TR/html401/struct/text.html).
- Text appearances have been changed for some commands of the data composition system.
- Specifying the nonexistent fields of the DataCompositionDataParameters object in the data path in regular form calls the exception.
- A changed text for the message that is displayed when an object is edited that has been changed by another user. The new message text: The data has been modified or deleted by another user.
- A changed representations for error messages concerned with standard attributes. Messages have the following appearance: "FieldName" field value сause of error, for example, if catalog code is not unique, then the "Code" field value is not unique message is displayed.
- Changed representation for information register record when error message is generated.
- Error message that is displayed when an operation in event handler is cancelled, has been changed. The text that used to read Operation not performed has been replaced with Failed to post: "Sale of goods"!.

Shift + Alt + Gray-, exlode all nodes ? Ctrl + Shift + Alt + Gray+, collapse all nodes ? Ctrl + Shift + Alt + Gray-. Only these keyboard shortcuts are used in web client. In other clients previously shortcuts can be used.
- The titles of active columns of form tables are not highlighted. The behavior remains unchanged in the 8.1 version compatibility mode.
- GetModificationTime() and SetModificationTime() methods of the File object now feature a new behavior. The time when a file was modified is either retrieved or set taking into account the time shift rules that existed at the time of modification instead of at the time of retrieving or setting such time. The behavior remains unchanged in the 8.1 version compatibility mode.
- A query that contains the keyword DISTINCT and a clause ORDER BY with an expression, which is absent from selection list, is treated as invalid. An error message will be displayed. The error message will not be displayed if the version 8.1 compatibility mode is enabled.

If a user does not enter the end date for a custom period, it will be considered not to be designated.
- When cells of a spreadsheet document are copied to the clipboard, the data will be stored in the clipboard in Excel97 format. This makes it possible to paste cells containing Cyrillic characters to ОpenOffice. Also, a copied spreadsheet document fragment in Excel97 will preserve the columns shift for every row of a spreadsheet document.
- When a spreadsheet document is saved in XLS format the following conversions are performed: fonts from WindowsFonts system set are substituted by Arial font, cells are merged using new algorithm (if a spreadsheet document cell is represented by several cells in Excel and along with this a spreadsheet document is limited on the left and on the right by border or color, then Excell cells are merged).

- The help does not have the automatically added fields and texts at the top and at the bottom (1C Company and 1C:Enterprise, configuration, and developer information).
- In web server add-on modules operations the algorithm of designating the temporary file folder has been changed. When a query is received and a reply is sent, the default temporary files folder is the temporary files folder of the user who executes the query. When a query to a file-based Infobase is processed (it is processed directly by a web server add-on module), the default temporary file folder is 1Cv8Temp subfolder of the file-based Infobase folder. The <vrs:point> element of the default.vrd file has received an optional attribute temp that can be used to specify a temporary files folder for the operation of web servers add-on modules.
- The Content property has been implemented for the Subsystem object. This property contains a list of all the objects belonging to the subsystem. Upon conversion from previous versions, this property is filled based on the subsystems that the configuration objects belong to. In 8.1 version compatibility mode the Subsystem property is available via the 1C:Enterprise script for the metadata objects that could belong to subsystems. Also, Content configuration property is available in the 8.1 version compatibility mode. This property is filled with references to the objects that belonged to the root element of the subsystems tree. When 8.1 version compatibility mode is disabled, the Content configuration property will be cleared and will not be available anymore in the configuration properties dialog.

- The Use property implemented for the IWorkingProcessInfo object. Property indicates the mode of using the working process (do not use/ use/ use as backup). The Enable property of this object is left for.
- For the IServerAgentConnection object implemented the SetWorkingProcessUsage() method, using which you can set new value for the Use property of the IWorkingProcessInfo object. StartWorkingProcess() and StopWorkingProcessInfo() methods are left for compatibility.
- For the IServerAgentConnection object implemented the SetClusterRecyclingExpirationTime() method, that sets time of forced termination of the working process. The SetClusterRecycling() method is left for compatibility.
- Implemented global context methods SetSessionsLock() and GetSessionsLock() and also the SessionsLock object to control locking new infobase sessions. The global context methods GetConnectionsLock() and SetConnectionsLock() and the ConnectionsLock object the have been preserved for compatibility reasons. In the infobase properties, that are shown in the 1C:Enterprise server cluster console text Connection lock is set is changed to Session lock is set.

- When executing the Lock() method, lock values are now checked in managed lock elements for all the fields for compliance with the lock field type. The behavior remains unchanged in the 8.1 version compatibility mode.
- During spreadsheet document pagination on Linux-based server the size of resulting pages can differ from the size of those pages that are actually printed out. This is due to the peculiarities of font information presentation by this operating system. In this case you should change the margins for the paper.
- Date autofilling changed for year-end (November-December): when dates are entered for the beginning of the year (January-February), the next year will be inserted. Date autofilling changed for the beginning of the year (January-February): when dates are entered for the end of the year (November-December), the previous year will be inserted unless the year is clearly designated.

Print parameters are saved to an Infobase. Print parameters of individual spreadsheet documents (objects) are changed independently (even if the key of print parameters is the same). The properties are filled from the print parameters saved using a key when the key was assigned. In 8.1 version compatibility mode such print parameters are not separated and are changed simultaneously.
- The Put() and Join() methods of a spreadsheet document will result in an error if the first parameter in such methods contains a spreadsheet document area. The behavior remains unchanged in 8.1 version compatibility mode.
- The LocaleCode() global context method has been renamed to InfobaseLocaleCode(). The previous version has been preserved for compatibility reasons.
- For spreadsheet document, geographical schema, graphical schema, and graphical schema field objects the Print() methods will accept the values of the PrintDialogUseMode type as a parameter. Use of Boolean type parameter has been preserved for compatibility reasons.
