# AL Language extension 8.3

> AL Language extension 8.3 for Business Central 2021 release wave 2: released 2022-01-18; 3 changelog entries, 2 GitHub issues linked.

[Changelog on the Visual Studio Marketplace](https://marketplace.visualstudio.com/items/ms-dynamics-smb.al/changelog) · Business Central 2021 release wave 2

## New AppSourceCop rule

In order to simplify and improve the dependency handling in Business Central, it is now required to use the `application` property in the app.json file of AppSource apps.
A dedicated AppSourceCop rule has then been created to validate it, see [AS0100](https://learn.microsoft.com/dynamics365/business-central/dev-itpro/developer/analyzers/appsourcecop-as0100).

## Miscellaneous

* New timestamp format in Output window when starting and finishing compilation.
* Added support for generating profile files in the right-click context menu on snapshots, which was previously only possible through the Command Palette.
* Added CodeLens support for collected frames in the profiler.
* Improved profile generation performance.
