June 26, 2023
On June 26, 2023 Apigee API hub released a new version of the software.
API hub has been upgraded to use a later version of the Registry API open-sourced project. See v0.6.13 on GitHub for changes and links to previous revisions that are also included in this update. Note that this update (like all previous updates), overwrites project-level artifacts that configure API hub displays including display settings, taxonomies, and lifecycles. In future releases, we will no longer overwrite project-level artifacts.
June 16, 2023
On June 16, 2023 Apigee API hub released a new version of the software.
API hub has been upgraded to use a later version of the Registry API open-sourced project. See v0.6.12 on GitHub for changes and links to previous revisions that are also included in this update.
Note that artifacts associated with API spec and deployment resources are now associated with the revisions of those resources. This allows artifacts that represent lint results and other revision-specific characteristics to be associated with those revisions. When artifacts are applied directly to the parent resource (spec or deployment), these artifacts are associated with the latest revisions of these resources. For more details, see this GitHub issue.
Migration of pre-existing spec- and deployment-related artifacts is not guaranteed in this update. In most cases, these artifacts are generated automatically by the registry controller and will be automatically recreated. If you find that manually-added artifacts are missing after the update, those will need to be reapplied with the same mechanisms that were available previously.
