Improvement: The response element SegmentAttributes will now always be returned, if requested, and not only if one of its attributes is non-empty or true.
Improvement: Improved considering low-emission zones, linking and routing over segments with a low-emission zone type cannot be parametrised differently, instead linking is possible if routing is allowed. Furthermore, the segment attribute lowEmissionZoneType will be stated in the response if segment attributes are requested, clients from xRoute 1.6 or earlier may have problems processing this attribute.
