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.
