As of January 14, 2014, this site is running CasJobs <b>v3_8_6</b>, which contains the following updates:
<ul>
	<li>A bug fix: uploaded file size limit was not
            working properly.</li>
	<li>GetJobsJob method added to jobs.asmx (needed for
            TAP service). This method
            is almost identical to the existing GetJobs, but
            returns an array of Job
            objects instead of CJJob.</li>
	<li>SubmitJobInto method added to jobs.asmx (needed
            for TAP service). This
            method is similar to SubmitJob, but automatically
            creates a table for the
            output. A unique table name is generated if no table
            name has been provided
            by a user.</li>
	<li>Balloon help for each selected context on Query page, with link to MyDB page for that context.</li>
