Rollup Summary Enhancements

• When a Rollup Summary field is added, or the definition of an existing field changes, a background job is scheduled to re-calculate values for all existing records.

Learn more: Rollup Summary Fields#Technical Considerations

• When adding or modifying a Related Record in a form, new Rollup Summary results are immediately visible in the parent record.

• When changing the definition of a field that is targeted by a Rollup Summary, the change in the Rollup Summary value is immediately visible when a record is viewed. For example:

• A change in the field's precision (number of decimal places).
• A change to the calculation of a formula field.
• A change to a formula field's return type: Number <==> Currency, or Date <==> DateTime.

Promotion Codes

Platform administrators can create promotion codes for new tenants, "sweetening the pot" for a specified period of time to encourage new business. (This is really an installable-version feature. But since it will be in the cloud first, the sales organization now has the capacity to define promotion codes it needs.)

Learn more: Promo Code Configuration

Promotion Code APIs

Along with the new promotion codes comes the ability to manage them using APIs. So it becomes possible to define a custom interface, rather than requiring the sales organization to use the platform admin interface.
