Our software consists of two parts - the engine and the API. Release notes for new features, improvements, and bug fixes will show under the Engine Release Notes. Release notes for updates to the API input and output structure will show under the API Release Notes.
These release notes are for Sovren's SaaS offering. If you're looking for self-hosted release notes go here.
