Release Notes 8.055.0

eSign: The ePacket Dashboard has been updated as follows:

Livestock: A request was received to add functionality allowing users to print Policy Declaration Pages for canceled coverages for Dairy Revenue Protection (DRP) policies. With this ticket, a new print option, "Include Canceled Coverages", was added to the Policy Declaration Page form on the Print tab for DRP policies only.
