What is running now, and what changed along the way. The versions are read from PLAS Status, the only version authority; the changes are the source's own words alongside the measured difference between the specifications.

How to read the table

  • In production is the version providers implement and clients can rely on today. It is also the version the reference on this site is generated from.
  • In specification is the version the PLAS team is working on. It is not released, and fields may change until it is.
  • Reference points to the generated documentation of the production version.

If PLAS Status changes in Confluence, the copy in the repository is renewed as a deliberate act, and the table follows.

One version number, four APIs. The four APIs are released on the same number, and that is measured rather than assumed: Search and Content went from 0.6.4 to 0.6.5 without a single structural change — only the version number is new — while Vendor skipped 0.6.4 and went straight from 0.6.3 to 0.6.5, where its one new operation is exactly the one PLAS Status notes under v0.6.5.

Older versions

Only the production version has generated pages. Older releases are still running at providers but have no reference here yet — their identifiers therefore appear without links. A reference URL, once published, keeps working, so older versions are added when the need is settled; they are not removed again.

How to read a version

  • According to PLAS Status is the source’s text. Where the source itself writes “(Added) Patron API”, it appears as markers in front of the line.
  • Changes to the specification appear as one block per API. “Moved” means an operation changed method or path with the same operationId; if it got a new operationId, it appears as removed and added — that is what the specification says.
  • Zero changes is a result too. A block saying nothing changed says the API got a new version number and otherwise stood still.
  • Versions without a specification in the copy show only the source’s text, and say so.

The filter above the list shows one API at a time. Without JavaScript, all four are shown.
