The global functions of encodeURIComponent and decodeURIComponent were added to the Expression Language to let you generate a proper query string for a URL from document data.

Ability to Monitor Scheduled/Triggered Tasks from Manager

From the 'Pipeline Run History' page of Manager, you can now expand the entry for a pipeline run, then click the Runtime ID link or Status link to open that pipeline run in the Designer and see its run status.
