This release has laid the foundation, for an API and has a few built-in web services that are used to communicate with the mobile app introduced along with this version.

In terms of new features, the OS version has also inherited the Corporate Directory plugin. Corporate directory enables employees to find and view the other employees in the organization. This new addition also comes with a mobile app which is available on both Android and IOS platforms.
