### Release 0.1.4 ### Release 0.1.4
Release 0.1.4 (November 2020) provides a number of major new features and improvements, as well as some crucial bug fixes:
#### Build Management System #### Build Management System
Improved build management system: The build management system has received a major upgrade, bringing the following improvements:
- Partial builds ##### Partial Build Completion
- Batch tracking
!!! TODO Previously, build orders had to be completed *atomically* (i.e. if the build order was to create 20x units, then all 20x units had to be created at once).
More information to come soon
The new build system allows the user to specify build *outputs* (of varying quantities) against a given build order. The build order cannot be completed until all build outputs are fulfilled.
A *Build Output* is simply a StockItem object which is marked as *in production*. This stock item can be assigned a (unique) serial number which is useful for pre-allocation purposes. It also allows stock to be filtered by production status and determine how many units are being built.
##### Stock Item Tracking
Parts which are marked as *trackable* are now treated differently for the purpose of a build order. Stock items must be assigned against each build output (as was the case previously). When a build output is marked as complete, any *trackable* stock items which are assigned to that build output are installed *into* the build output (which is simply a StockItem). In this manner, if a *trackable* stock item is used to build another stock item, it remains tracked via the stock item it is installed into.
Stock items which are not *trackable* are simply removed from stock when the build output is completed.
##### Stock Allocation Improvements
A number of UX improvements have been made to simplify the process of allocating stock items against a build output (and thus a build order).
#### Related Parts #### Related Parts
##### Definition
Related Part denotes a relationship between two parts, when users want to show their usage is "related" to another part or simply emphasize a link between two parts.

#### Currency Support #### Currency Support
!!! TODO A more comprehensive implementation of Currency support has been implemented.
More information to come soon
Using the [django-money](https://github.com/django-money/django-money) library enables native support for all currency types, and the (future) possibility of offering real-time currency conversion.
This update is "simply" an architectural change which will allow more comprehensive currency management in a future release.
As part of the new currency library implementation, InvenTree can now track purchase price of stock items (in whichever currency the user chooses).
