Dec 22- Jan 4 Hot-Fix Weekly Release - Windows Client

Hi Everyone,

I hope you had a good time during the Christmas and New Year holiday. I notice my colleague Tony, a senior engineer, posted some contents to introduce the  hot-fix and on-line submission project these days. I want to express my appreciation to him. We will update and optimize our process and content according to your feedback. The weblogs are a good channel for us to learn and hear from you.;-)
