About
Below is a log of changes to the Persona API. Updates that affect only products or features in beta or limited release may not be reflected.
Each change can be described as either a breaking change or an ongoing change.
- Breaking changes = new API version: When we make any backwards-incompatible changes, we release a new version of the API. In addition to being assigned a new API version, these changes are marked in the changelog with the 💥 symbol. You’re in charge of when you get breaking changes—you get them when you upgrade your API version. Learn how to try out and upgrade to newer API versions.
- Ongoing changes: Ongoing changes are backwards-compatible, and are added on an ongoing basis. You don’t need to update your API version to get these updates.
SDK changelogs
Each Persona SDK has a separate changelog: Android SDK, iOS SDK, React Native SDK, Javascript SDK, Inlined React SDK, Inlined Vue SDK
