		+	<ol>
		+	<li>Performance improvements - Changes to the platform and improved storage efficiency cut our storage space requirements by almost 50% and improved overall performance response time across the board!</li>
		+	<li>The import and export for data series points has been updated to include additional details. We recommend current users export a couple of data series to get the updated spreadsheet and use it as a template for future imports.</li>
		+	<li>We have improved the audit record of user-modified data points to track the original and changed values, along with who changed them and when the change was made.</li>
		+	<li>Admin users can now delete source data points (source data is collected from an external source – with a Poll Type of ‘Manual’, ‘SNMPv1’, or ‘URLScrape’).</li>
		+	<li>Resolved a bug that caused derived data series to not generate data series timing warning notifications. LiveDC users that have derived data series with no recent data points may have received new notification events following Friday’s maintenance window.</li>
		+	<li>Resolved a bug where non-responsive sensors were causing performance issues.</li>
		+	<li>Resolved a bug that caused LiveTiles to not always render number formatting correctly.</li>

		+	==Link Layers and Other Enhancements 10/14/2014==
		+	''Link Layers''<br />
		+	This major piece of functionality allows a user to create links on a Map that can navigate to other Maps, LiveTiles, Graphs, Accounts, and Hardware records. We can also create links to any URL i.e.video cameras, web-based management tools, etc.
		+	<br />
		+	<br />
		+	''Layer Display Options''<br />
		+	We added the ability for each Layer in a Map to have custom display options for the Ages, Dots, Names, Outlines, and Values -- including custom colors for those items! This helps to visually organize what a user sees in a Map. The interface for moving Influences on a Map was also simplified.
		+	<br />
		+	<br />
		+	''Performance Improvement''<br />
		+	We dramatically improved the performance for some of the drop-down lists to be populated in LiveControl. This helps the forms for records fill in faster, and the buttons to be enabled sooner.
		+	<br />
		+	<br />
		+	''Favicon''<br />
		+	Web browsers will now use the LiveDC logo for the small icon in the browser tab and bookmarks.

		+	==LiveDC New User Interface 8/11/2014==
		+	''Introducing Elicits, LiveTiles, and Maps!''<br />
		+	We're now using the new names of LiveTiles, Maps, and Elicits – instead of Cogs, Heatmaps, and Collectors. We think these new names are a better representation of the two types of visualizations within LiveDC and the collector.
		+	<br />
		+	<br />
		+	''New User Interface!''<br />
		+	We've been developing, testing, and refining a new user experience for the last several months and we're proud to now have it available to all users! The new interface is called LiveView, and it specializes in viewing your content from LiveDC, on screens as small as a smartphone. The traditional interface, known now as LiveControl, has all the capabilities needed to administer and maintain your LiveDC Account. Users will have the option to pick which interface they want to use, and switch between them as needed.

		+	''New Poll Type: RecordCount'' <br />
		+	This type of data series poll uses a saved search criteria to count how many records match the criteria, and records that value as a data point. There are a few specific searches which are known not to work.  The Extended Name fields are not included in the audit tables, and won’t work for this poll type.  Also, searches for data series points will not work, since those are audited differently at the current time.
		+	<br />
		+	<br />
		+	''Data Series Tags appear in Notification Emails'' <br />
		+	Messages generated by the notification system will now include the tag names for an affected data series.  This is useful for clients with similar-named data series at multiple locations, assuming they are tagged with something to identify the location.

−	~~Coming soon!~~	+	==Elicit Efficiency Upgrade 8/12/2014==
		+	The Elicit software has been upgraded to consume less disk space.
		+
		+	During normal operations, Elicit takes very little disk space. However, during communication outages or maintenance windows with LiveDC, the Elicit software stores polling results locally until communication is restored. This upgrade cuts the local storage requirement by roughly 90%. This means Elicit can now store ten times the polling results in the same amount of disk space.
		+
		+	The end result: Elicit can handle being disconnected from LiveDC for much longer before disk space becomes a concern.
