Still waiting for pdf export on Analysis Workspace.  I am hearing rumours this may be released for Summit.  Can you confirm?

We're going to be holding an 'Ask the Experts' session on Analysis workspace roadmap next month. We will have more info for you then!

We're just wrapping things up regarding maintenance. Some noteworthy things to know!

• Elimination of hashed values in Data Feeds – Over the next year, data feeds will start including actual values instead of hashed versions.
• Web Services v1.2 API end-of-life – Support for the 1.2 version of the API was deprecated in fall 2014. It still technically works, but in several months this version of the reporting API will return a 404 error.
• SSL v3 disabled – None of the current versions of Analytics tools use this protocol.
• UK Postal Code – In the March release the geo postal code data Analytics provides for the UK will be more specific/granular. The product will start providing the full postal code.
• Data Processing change – When a product string is populated, Analytics servers count a prodView event whether or not it was passed on the hit. Sometime in the next month, this prodView event will be added to the list of events *after* processing rules (instead of before). This will fix issues with context data and mobile hits. 
• Real-Time Report Configuration permission – A new feature giving more robust permissions around Real-Time reports.
