Summary

Mpeg Audio Layer III (mp3) as recording format is supported for custom templates.
Some less severe issues were fixed.
Setup
New Features
Add pdb files and Lame.dll (Mpeg Audio Layer III support)
Service
New Features
Implement "routelevels" REST API
Implement "usage" API
Improved log message in case a relayed subscription isn't accepted by target host (usually this occurs with hosts of an older version)
Consider alias, but also jobId passed to REST interfaces markers, metadata, outputswitch, rundown
Handle two jobs with same alias (not recommended, but now it always refers to the first created job with same alias)
api/jobs: Removed unused query syntax "alias" (without value) to reinterpret a jobId parameter as alias
Query filter expressions now support condition terms also in lowercase ("and", "or", "not")
API access to service log files
Update own hostinfo to non-running when windows system enters sleep mode and wakes up again, so others know if it's available (works only as real service)
Fixed Issues
Defective schedule prevents other schedules working
Service started altough setting “hostInfo.IsDisabled=false”
An active schedule referring to deleted template could block other schedules to be executed
api/templates?count didn't respond with { "count": xx"}; fix applies only if nLimit!=1000 to be compatible with older Admin client
api/jobs option "LogInfoCount" was not functional
