What it brought
Wave, the Analytics Cloud, makes its first appearance with a browser dashboard builder and a Salesforce Analytics app for iOS. Lightning Components ship as a beta with their own developer setup, packaging support and new AuraDefinitionBundle metadata. The Process Builder, a visual workflow tool, is also in beta, and Lightning Connect is previewed for reading external data as Salesforce objects. Platform accounts for 79 of the 277 notes. One date for admins: support for all versions of the Salesforce CTI Toolkit ends after Summer '15, and partners are pointed to Open CTI.
