Changes to the interface are always backward compatible.
You need not to update your applications after any change.
But there may be new recommendations (indicated by
bold text) on how to use OKAPI methods.

This list shows only changes that are considered to be
relevant for developers and site admins. Please consult the
Git log
for a complete history, including older changes.
OKAPI was started in August 2011 at the OCPL code branch,
and it was deployed to the OCDE branch in April 2013.
