New functionality and changes

Functionality After Before Result of changes
Configuration properties.
For configuration property Compatibility mode, new value Version 8.3.12 is now implemented. Compatibility with versions 8.1, 8.2.13, 8.2.16, 8.3.1 - 8.3.11 was implemented. Configurations developed using 1C:Enterprise platform version 8.3.12 or earlier can run on version 8.3.13 without any changes to configuration or to data structures. This allows for transition to version 8.3.13 in two stages: first, update the platform version (without any changes to the configuration); then, apply any required changes and disable compatibility mode. You can still access the infobase using version 8.3.12 after the transition to version 8.3.13, even if you disabled the compatibility mode (if you did, enable it again).
DBMS operations.
System requirements.
Support of PostgreSQL version 10.1 is implemented. PostgreSQL version 10.1 was not supported. Extended list of supported DBMS.
Collaboration system.
Implemented 1C:Enterprise. Startup and notifications application. It provides the following features:
