Changelog

Platform

The Contento Platform and APIs follow Semantic Versioning.

This means whenever we release a major version there may be some changes that are not backward compatible. Minor and patch releases will always be backward compatible. If you are an existing customer we will notify you well in advance of any major release.

We’re aware that there is a gap in the changelog here, which is when we were less disciplined in our process of keeping track of what we changed. Since then we’ve documented every material change here and will continue to do so!
