[DT-037486] Ability to preserve Chrome parameters in the URL
Added a setting that can prevent users from changing Chrome parameters in the URL. We are now preserving parameters so users cannot manually remove something like "chrome=off" and get into a bad state. This is set using the Force Default URL Parameters setting when creating or editing a Group.
[DT-040235] Add Side Menu Layout in the latest versions
We have brought back the Side Menu Layout for Forms and Pages due to popular demand. This feature was originally removed in v8.13.

The After Checkout allows the user to add any actions they wish for after a checkout occurs. There are new properties for the Flows in the Data Explorer tab under SessionClientInfo. IPAddress, MachineName, and PlatformVersionNumber.

[DT-040376] HL7: TCP Emitter - add a retry setting if an ACK is not received
TCP Emitters can how be enabled to keep retrying sending a message with the WaitForAck setting. Currently if a message tried to send but failed, the Emitter would move to the next message. With the setting the Emitter will not proceed until the first message sends successfully.

[DT-040434] Add Interface Setting to control whether we automatically emit message when one is received and processed

Updated the Create Text File step to use UTF8 characters instead of ASCII.
[DT-040484] HL7 - Add steps that allow reprocessing received messages

[DT-040615] FR - Filter by File Pattern at SFTP Server
Added in the "Pattern" setting for SFTP and FTP steps. This new property allows users to match a pattern for the file name they want to be returned from the List Remote Files steps (FTP and SFTP).
