Added new server-side API utility methods rbv_api.jsonToString() and
rbv_api.stringToJson() methods for converting to and from JSON.

for max length of Query API called "MaxQueryLength".
[Hosted Cloud] Integrated Platform Hosted Cloud into the Progress Pacific
platform framework with Pacific Dashboard and centralized login page
using ProgressID as the authentication service.

New Features and Enhancements
User Experience enhancements include:
Single sign-on with your Progress ID to the Pacific Console
New user interface design
A new Community for users which migrates all Platform forums from
GetSatisfaction to the new Platform Community.
Connection Pooling changes get faster database access within your application
using Bone Connection Pooling (BoneCP). This is now the default setting and the
JDBC URL does not require a BoneCP prefix. Legacy connection pooling is still
available as an attribute to the Database element.
A Platform Private Cloud installer bundles the installation of Platform and
OpenEdge Enterprise RDBMS with JRE and Tomcat to save users from having
to download and install components separately.
The Oracle & SQL Server versions support ConnectionRetry and useTxtRecovery
parameters within the JDBC URL.
Private Cloud distributions of Platform include branded DataDirect drivers.
These Platform DataDirect drivers also support BoneCP.
