  • Improved SBL upload process by spreading out the job of deleting the previous book records, which is now done by deleting 4% chunks one at a time, as opposed to the old "all at once" in a single transaction. This method causes less strain on the SQL server's transaction log and provides better performance, especially for users with larger books (100K tracks and up).
