# New Functionality and Changes Introduced with Decision Optimizer 9.4

This release requires Xpress 9.7 or later and Xpress Insight 5.15 or later.

## New Features and Changes

This release delivers enhancements in Tree Aware Optimization (TAO) and reporting, as well as general performance improvements.

- Tree Aware Optimization (TAO) enhancements:
  - Added the ability to use the same decision key multiple times in a tree template.
  - When updating a tree template, allow for changing base tree file while keeping consistency constraint setup.
  - For a base tree template, allow branching base tree leaf nodes that are not at the deepest (allow expanding of non-terminal leaves into subtrees).
  - Performance improvements of segment handling.
- Report enhancements:
  - Increased width and height of the Efficient Frontier (EF) report.
  - In the Data Model view, enabled sorting on Report Order column.
  - In Swap Set Report, the exported table now has rows and columns in the same order as the user interface.
- General performance improvements (including segment handling across all scenarios and eligibility constraint segment validation).
- When you click on an executed scenario on the Jobs tab, the scenario is opened automatically together with its project and shown in the Summary Report view.

## Defect Remediation

This release resolves the following issues:

- Validation Scenario now executes over the post-data-processing records, which is consistent with other scenario types.
- In the Swap Set report for an exploratory scenario, a separate table is now displayed for each respective sub-scenario.
