A:
This answer is about the first part of your question:
What made Sage change so radically?
This really is much easier to answer for the first revision, i.e. the first release of the program, so here are the release notes from that first release:
Accounting Software: Sage 50 Accounting 2016: Release 1 (US Edition) - Sage
Sage 50 Accounting 2016: Release 1 (US Edition) - Sage
So in version 1 (released in early 2016), the release notes (as always on the product's website) mention the following:
Sage 50 Accounting 2016: Release 1 (US Edition) - Sage
Provides an integrated suite of business management applications for
businesses in the US. The software includes Sage 50 Accounting,
Sage 50 Invoicing, Sage 50 Payables, Sage 50 Purchasing and Sage 50
Cash Manager for both on-premises or cloud deployments.
Then version 2 was released in August 2016 and the release notes mention the following:
Sage 50 Accounting 2016: Release 2 (US Edition) - Sage
Introduces new business management applications that provide
functionality for Sage 50 Accounting, Sage 50 Invoicing, Sage 50
Payables, Sage 50 Purchasing and Sage 50 Cash Manager, to manage
invoices, purchase orders, payments and accounts receivable/payable.
Then with the release of version 3 in January 2017, the release notes mention the following:
Sage 50 Accounting 2016: Release 3 (US Edition) - Sage
Introduces more than 50 new enhancements to release 2 and offers a
range of best practice innovations for Sage 50 Accounting, Sage 50
Invoicing, Sage 50 Payables, Sage 50 Purchasing and Sage 50 Cash
Manager
This quote explains the difference pretty well, but you have to make sure you read and understand the release notes carefully.
These release notes do mention that the Sage 50 Accounting 2016 suite has been upgraded in a number of ways, but you have to bear in mind that it was a complete re-write and rewrite is a big job, especially for a company like Sage as they are a professional product, not a hobbyist project.
