Users can now easily unselect all flows that are ticked for the 'Use Latest Version' column, except the selected flow. This allows for creating new versions of packages quickly that patch a single flow. +##### Reduce memory usage of the Package Management Service -In order to unselect all flows except the selected flow, the user needs to right-click on the 'Use Latest Version ' cell for the flow they want and click `Unselect all except this flow` option within the context menu, which will then unselect all other flows that had 'Use Latest Version' selected. +Previously, the Package Management Service would keep the raw Flow JSON in memory, causing high RAM usage. This has now been greatly improved by compressing the Flow JSON.
