# AL Language extension 7.1

> AL Language extension 7.1 for Business Central 2021 release wave 1 update 1: released 2021-04-01; 4 changelog entries.

[Changelog on the Visual Studio Marketplace](https://marketplace.visualstudio.com/items/ms-dynamics-smb.al/changelog) · Business Central 2021 release wave 1 update 1

For this update there are bug fixes and changes around a few different areas.

## Snapshot debugging

Snapshot debugging allows recording built-in codeunit based stack traces if there is a snappoint defined in the al file containing the subscription to the built-in code unit trigger event.

## Reports extensions

* Parameters and captions are now supported report layouts in report extensions
* Debugging supported added for report extension
* Added support for modify on dataitems with a set of triggers to go along with it.
* There were a couple of issues around adding dataitems into the correct position, which caused layouts to not work correctly.
* The checks for duplicate usage of identical names did not catch all cases.

## Built-in functions and types

* [#6568](https://github.com/microsoft/al/issues/6568). The deprecation warning has been removed from UploadIntoStream
* [#6570](https://github.com/microsoft/al/issues/6570). The type ModuleInfo now contains a PackageId.
* If the StartSession with the timeout was to be used, it required a record and company. That has been changed so they are not required.

## Go to Definition

* When a package has ShowMyCode set to false, then the editor will show a generated view from the symbol information available. That has been improved to include more objects.
