Licensing, Installation, and Other Changes
The 19.0 SP4 release introduces important changes that affect licensing, installation, and other services you use directly from the modeling tool.

Project Statistics
You can now contribute to improving the performance of the modeling tool and modeling experience. All you need to do is to export the Project Statistics report that is based on the quantitative data collected from your project and then share it with us.

Resolving Conflicting Changes Automatically in Merge
Handle Merge conflicts more efficiently by tailoring the Merge behavior to your needs! From now on, in the Environment options dialog, you can specify either the Source or Target to be the default resolution when dealing with conflicting changes.

Memory Consumption Improvements in Merge
The 19.0 SP4 release brings significant improvements to the Project Merge memory consumption. Specifically, with multiple optimizations in place, we reduced the memory footprint by 25%-40%, as compared to version 19.0 SP3. The effect may vary from model to model and depend on its size as well as the number and type of changes themselves.
