Summary of important changes

Breaking Changes

• You might want to check how your scripts behave for users in other languages as we're now setting the context language on the Job, which e.g. impacts how items are retrieved. [694]
• All remotely accessible services are now disabled by default 716 so you need to provide a patch config file if you want to use SPE in your CI environment out-of-the-box.

Major new Features

• Read-Variable cmdlet now supports validation on field and form level 728.
• ISE now allows you to emulate script execution in context of any user or language 726.
• Added Update-ItemReferrer cmdlet that allows you to re-link an item to another item or delete references to an item before e.g. deleting it. 726.
• Introduced Role/User based restriction for user access to endpoints. 715
