Hi! This is a minor-release. On the first post of this thread will be the list of changes for the release. There is a major release coming next which includes those features in the ARC. Currently, you would have to use the EZ-SDK.

I suspect we will be doing a major release sometime in the next week. Major releases are dependent on testing and delayed on bug fixes.
