Bug 3843: Server Maintenance never starts on SX servers
Resolved an issue that was preventing the scheduled maintenance from starting on SX servers.

Bug 3898: X-List runs that end at 11:59pm create 1 minute gaps at the end of the day
Runs ending at midnight now appear in X-List as 12:00AM instead of 11:59PM.

Bug 3854: Cablecast Public Site Home does not remove deleted channel from list
Public site data is now deleted when a channel is deleted.

Bug 3877: Web Service does not return bumped schedule times
The Cablecast Web Service now provides the bumped time of shows on the schedule.

Bug 3879: Some pages have malformed or missing HTML headers
Resolved an issue that was causing certain pages to fail due to missing portions of the HTML header.

Bug 3870: SX servers creating log files in incorrect location
When the SX server detected an extraordinary condition, it would automatically save a dump of the process for later diagnostics. Due to an error, these dumps were being saved in the incorrect location, this has been fixed.

Bug 3804: DeviceControl service can use huge amounts of memory on ProVOD Machines
Found an issue that when there were a large number of files yet to be transcoded, could cause the CablecastDeviceControl service to consume extraneous resources.

Bug 3871: DeviceControl service on SX Servers may have excess threads and use large amounts of virtual memory.
Resolved an issue on SX Servers that was causing the CablecastDeviceControl to check the server's health excessively, which was consuming large amounts of resources, and degrading performance.

Thanks everyone!
