This update brings the following features and bug fixes:

• Job templates: you can save a submitted job as a new job template and use this template to submit a new job with another asset (this will create a job with the same tasks and settings. The number of input assets must match). Job Templates are also supported with the Watch folder.
• Job re-submission: a job with a single task can be "resubmitted". In that case, a dialog box opens, user can modify the processor or the configuration string before resubmitting the job
• Dynamic encryption can now be configured when a live program is created
• Updated jobs chart. Time period can be selected.
• It's now possible to provide the PlayReady seed or Content key, and the AES key with Dynamic Encryption
• A locator GUID can be forced when creating a streaming Locator. It's also possible to create two live programs in two datacenters with the same path.
• Program reset now restores dynamic encryption
• Display secured live ingest URL
• In Asset information box, Locator URLs are displayed with color information (URL is grayed if the streaming endpoint is stopped or has not reserved unit). Displays HTTPS streaming locators too.
• When an asset is played, Explorer tries to find the best streaming unit.
