Release notes
Upgrade compatibility
Good to know: all Octalarm Link APIs are backward compatible. When we add new functionality to Octalarm Link, we increment the API version number for any non-backward-compatible changes to the API.
Examples of non-backward-compatible changes
- Changes to the URL or request/response models of an application.
- Delete, rename or change the type of a declared property.
- Delete or rename APIs or API parameters.
- Addition of a required request header.
Examples of backward compatible changes
- Addition of properties to an application model that are nullable or have a default value.
- Addition of properties to an answer model.
- Addition of a paragraph to a list.
- Introduction of paging on existing collections.
- Changes in error codes.
- Changes in property sequence.
- Changes to the length or format of strings, such as resource IDs.
