Green items are new features.

2. Manual post-install step (required since April 2017):
- Applies to Self Service HR customers. A change in the use of Google Maps service means that an API key is now required to show maps.

- A new profile option allows you to force the responsibility precedence applied by Applaud. The profile is called XXAS: Responsibility Precedence and accepts a comma-separated list of responsibility keys. Each key can use regex expressions so that multiple responsibilities with similar names do not need to be listed every time. For example: XXX_(.[^OLD].)MANAGER(SELF_SERVICE|SS),XXX_(.[^OLD].)EMPLOYEE(SELF_SERVICE|SS) would give precedence to manager responsibilities except those starting with XXX_OLD, then employee responsibilities next.
