Resolved Issues
This release contains the following resolved issues:
Workspace Web Edition
During chat consultations, if the consultation is cancelled by using the hyperlink in the transcript or by time-out, the same consultation target can now be used again during the chat session. (HTCC-19703)
In the My Agents tab for Team Leads or Supervisors, the In Call and After Call Work filters are now shown only for the Voice channel. Previously, these filters were shown for the Chat and Email channels without an effect on usage. (HTCC-19547)
If an agent sets his or her status on the Chat or Email channels to Do Not Disturb from Not Ready, and then a Team Lead or Supervisor, using the My Agents tab, sets the agent's status to Ready, and the channel status is displayed as Do Not Disturb. Previously in this scenario, the agent saw the channel as Ready even though it was in the Do Not Disturb state on the system. (HTCC-19405)
Web Services API
Unsolicited Facebook posts that are created by agents now appear on Facebook. (HTCC-20739)
The Platform Configuration API is now able to create and update objects of DN Group type. Previously, these types of objects could only be retrieved or deleted because POST and PUT incorrectly returned unsupported object type. (HTCC-20500)
Web Services now uses the value specified in the defaultBinding option defined as part of samlSettings. Previously, Web Services ignored this option and used the first applicable binding mentioned in the identityProviderMetadata option. (HTCC-20193)
You can now include a header in the main log file for Web Services by setting the enableLogHeader option to true. This header contains key information about the Web Services installation, including the version, start time, libraries, and any applicable settings from the applications.yaml file.
You can now include the maxAuthenticationAge option in the SAML configuration section. This option specifies the maximum-allowed time between user authentication and the processing of an authentication statement. (HTCC-20141)

The disposition code chosen for voice calls within the adapter will now be visible in the interaction history in Workspace Web Edition. (HTCC-20459)
A blank agent state will no longer be shown when the agent is moved to Not Ready - Expired after not responding a chat invitation. (HTCC-20325)
Calls that arrive immediately after the adapter window is popped out in Salesforce will now be correctly displayed. (HTCC-19812)
