### Inquiries

* 🍃 **Resumed Inquiry persists locale from previous session**: A [resumed Inquiry](https://docs.withpersona.com/resuming-inquiries) now loads with the same locale as the previous session (if set). Previously, a resumed Inquiry would load with the locale of the current device.
* 🍃 **One-time links generated only when needed**: The [generate a one-time link](https://docs.withpersona.com/api-reference/inquiries/generate-a-one-time-link) endpoint response now contains a previously-created but unused, unexpired link if one exists. This change prevents you from creating too many links if you accidentally call this endpoint many times.

### Verifications

* 🍃 **More metadata for [Government ID Verification](https://docs.withpersona.com/api-reference/verifications/government-id-verifications/retrieve-a-government-id-verification)'s Allowed ID check**: The Allowed ID Verification Check (`id-disallowed-type-detection`) now returns additional `metadata` properties when the check passes or fails: `country-code`, `detected-id-designations`, `disallowed-id-designations`.

* 🍃 **New defaults for Selfie Verification**: When you create a [Selfie Verification](https://docs.withpersona.com/api-reference/verifications/selfie-verifications/retrieve-a-selfie-verification), two new defaults are set. These defaults reflect what works best for most customers, and these settings remain configurable. The new defaults are:

  1. The Selfie Liveness Verification Check (`selfie-liveness-detection`) is enabled.
  2. The Verification requires "strict selfie capture"—a set of standards that mean the selfie must be higher resolution, and the face more centered.

* 🔧 **Enable Verification types in Sandbox**: The following [Verification types](https://docs.withpersona.com/verification-types) can now be created in the Sandbox environment:

  * AAMVA
  * eCBSV Database
  * Serpro Database
  * TIN Database
  * Selfie

### Transactions

* 🍃 **Update Transaction status via API**: You can [update the status of a Transaction](https://docs.withpersona.com/api-reference/transactions/update-a-transaction) by setting the new `status` attribute in the `/update` endpoint.
