1.   What's new

Dynamic Calendar-based time events
This fix pack introduces dynamic, calendar-based time events for flows and work items. This feature solves an issue that occurred when a user updated some calendars, they had to resubmit their flow definitions to use the new updated calendars. Flow definitions that were already submitted continued to use the old calendars. With this feature, the submitted flow definitions’ dependent calendars will get the latest calendar automatically, so the flow and work items inside the flow can be scheduled according to the updated calendar-based time events. Updating calendars takes effect after Save & Apply, to make all flow and work items use the updated calendars.

Dynamic update of Time Zone Data
Time zone and daylight savings time (DST) are often adjusted by individual governments around the world according to their local rules.

This features provides a build method for International Components for Unicode (ICU) data and adds a dynamic method for applying ICU data updates. It also provides a parameter to offset all time events in LSF Process Manager, if necessary.
