New Features
Guidance text field for survey questions
An additional field named Guidance has been added to survey questions which allows rich text (including URL links) to be shown in a survey. The Guidance text will appear immediately below the Question; in the example there is a blank line in the Guidance text to visually separate it from the Question text. Please note that formatting can greatly reduce the amount of text that can be shown, especially when pasting in from another application.

API Callout workflow activity
API Callouts allow integration with other systems. A new workflow activity named API Callout has been added to Other Activities. This allows a workflow to connect to online services that have an API.
Configuration of API Callout in the workflow editor
Each API that will be used in a workflow must be added to the new API Callouts configuration in the Integration section of the Administration application. Note that this option appears when the Integration section is expanded in the left panel, but does not appear in the main page of the Administration application.

Additional chart option for tooltip text
There is an additional configuration setting in charts called Tooltip. The value of any field dropped into the Tooltip will be added to any existing text in the tooltip.

Configurable gauge marker thresholds
The marker thresholds for the red-orange and the orange-green transitions can be set to a predefined value in the gauge chart's Value Axis Properties. Marker 1 is the red-orange threshold value and Marker 2 is the orange-green threshold value.

Resource Keys are calculated in the background
Resource Keys will be automatically generated or updated after being created or changed. There is a Generating hashes flag on Resource Keys which will be "No" normally but change to "Yes" while a change is being effected.
