API changelog template

Use this fictional example as a starting point. Replace versions, dates, supported environments and behavior with tested facts from your release.

Example 1

A versioned release with concrete next steps

Improved

2.0.0 — 2026-06-10

Breaking changes

  • GET /events returns {items, next_cursor} instead of an array.

Migration

  1. Read records from response.items.
  2. Request the next page with cursor=next_cursor until null.
  3. Test empty and multi-page accounts.

Deprecated

  • page is deprecated; use cursor. Removal date is not yet scheduled.

Why it works: Names the changed surface and includes a verification action rather than asking consumers to infer the migration.
