The WflGetPagesService is used for retrieving page renditions (thumbnails or previews) of layouts in applications such as Journal Designer. The following changes have been made to it:

• Improved performance. To speed up the retrieval process, the following has been changed:

• A new parameter named 'HaveVersions' has been added to the WflGetPagesRequest.
