Release Notes

Google periodically updates the classic Sites API in order to deliver new features and to repair defects discovered in previous versions. In most cases, these changes will be transparent to API developers. However, occasionally we need to make changes that require developers to modify their existing applications.

This page documents any changes made to the Sites Data API that may effect your application. We recommend that API developers periodically check this list for any new announcements. Changes will also be announced via this page's Atom feed and the classic Sites API developer forum.
