Version 2.1.0 (Released January 29, 2016, Retagged February 9, 2016 due to dependency issues)

Note: This release includes some breaking changes, not in the API itself, but with Live API Documentation (i.e. Swagger)!

• Upgraded usage of OpenAPI Specification (fka Swagger) to 2.0 from 1.2. Prior service configuration (i.e. for remote web services) or client dependencies (old swagger-based SDKs) on the previously used 1.2 specification are not compatible and must be changed to comply with the 2.0 specification.
• Swagger UI (supporting 2.0 spec) now included as an application and referenced in Admin application.
• API Doc (i.e. Swagger UI) view is now Role-based, meaning that the view is based on the allowed services for that Role.
• Event Scripting post-process scripts, and custom scripting services (V8Js, NodeJs, and PHP) now can utilize a "event.response" object that allows for custom status code and content type settings directly from script. Using the old-style "return" statements to return data still works and defaults to status code 200 as before.
• Event Scripting now supported for File Services and Remote Web Services.
• XML to JSON content conversion now handles namespaces (i.e. singular namespaces are used to pull data into JSON format).
• Fixed bugs with configuration of Email services.
• Fixed bugs for manipulating request content and parameters in pre-process scripts.
• Fixed handling for database "read-only" fields like SQL Server rowversion.
• SQL Server now supported as an option for the system database.

Version 2.0.3 (Released December 22, 2015)
