1.63	New	Feature	Custom Currencies	Custom Currencies Comprehensive support for formatting and parsing currencies has been part of SAPUI5 for a long time.

1.63	New	Feature	UI5 Web Components	UI5 Web Components UI5 Web Components are a set of reusable UI elements, which can be used for your static websites or web apps with a minimal footprint. They bring the relevant SAPUI5 qualities and latest SAP Fiori user experience to the HTML level and enable you to build a complete, enterprise-ready, and responsive web app, even if you're already using a different web framework. UI5 Web Components are not built on top of SAPUI5 and are not its successor. They are lightweight and independent UI elements, offered complementary to the framework. For more information, see the UI5 Web Components home page, the GitHub Project, and the blog post. _{New•Feature•Info Only•1.63}	Info Only	2019-02-27
1.63	New	Control	`sap.f.ShellBar` (Experimental)	`sap.f.ShellBar` (Experimental) We have implemented a new `sap.f.ShellBar` control, which is used as the uppermost section (shell) of the app. The control is fully responsive and adaptive, and corresponds to the latest SAP Fiori Design Guidelines. For more information, see the API Reference and the Samples. _{New•Control•Info Only•1.63}	Info Only	2019-02-27
1.63	New	Control	`sap.m.upload.UploadSet`	`sap.m.upload.UploadSet` `UploadSet` is a new control that enables users to upload one or multiple files from their computer, tablet, or phone and to attach them to your application. This control builds on the `sap.m.UploadCollection` control, providing better handling of headers and requests, unified behavior of instant and deferred uploads, as well as improved progress indication. For more information, see the API Reference and the Samples. _{New•Control•Info Only•1.63}	Info Only	2019-02-27
1.63	Changed	Feature	SAPUI5 OData V4 Model	SAPUI5 OData V4 Model The new version of the SAPUI5 OData V4 model introduces the following features: The new types `sap.ui.model.odata.type.Unit` and `sap.ui.model.odata.type.Currency`: The new types use the unit or currency customizing as provided by the back end in a special code list. For more information, see Currency and Unit Customizing in OData V4. The method `sap.ui.model.odata.v4.AnnotationHelper.format`: This method can be used instead of `v4.AnnotationHelper.value` to generate bindings with type information and constraints. It also includes `$Path` in the result. To avoid the inclusion of `$Path`, resolve `$path` with the `sap.ui.mode.odata.v4.AnnotationHelper.resolve$Path` method. To create composite bindings with the new `sap.ui.model.odata.type.Unit` and `sap.ui.model.odata.type.Currency` types, use `sap.ui.model.odata.v4.AnnotationHelper.format`. For more information, see Meta Model for OData V4. The binding parameter `$$patchWithoutSideEffects`: The parameter was introduced with SAPUI5 1.60 and can now be used for `sap.ui.model.odata.v4.ODataListBindings`. The parameter is now also inherited to dependent bindings to avoid inconsistent behavior that was caused by the missing inheritance. Restriction: Due to the limited feature scope of this version of the SAPUI5 OData V4 model, check that all required features are in place before developing applications. Check the detailed documentation of the features, as certain parts of a feature may be missing. While we aim to be compatible with existing controls, some controls might not work due to small incompatibilities compared to `sap.ui.model.odata.(v2.)ODataModel`, or due to missing features in the model (such as tree binding). This also applies to smart controls (`sap.ui.comp` library) and SAP Fiori elements that do not support the SAPUI5 OData V4 model, as well as controls such as `TreeTable` and `AnalyticalTable`, which are not supported together with the SAPUI5 OData V4 model. The interface for applications has been changed for easier and more efficient use of the model. For a summary of these changes, see Changes Compared to OData V2 Model. For more information, see OData V4 Model, the API Reference, and the Samples. _{Changed•Feature•Info Only•1.63}	Info Only	2019-02-27

To use the larger font size, add the newly introduced CSS classes to the controls.
