API change documentation notifications

[mikemilano]

Is there any way to learn when the API changes? i.e. when methods are added/deprecated, or parameters are changed.

As I go through the API documentation and find a mix of deprecated arguments, methods, or badges indicating the version a particular method became available, I am seeing the need for an organization relying on the API directly, or a developer maintaining wrapper libraries, to know when changes are made.

If there's something in place, I'd recommend adding documentation about it, perhaps in the API Conventions doc.

An email list where devs can be notified when changes occur would be extremely helpful as well. I think it's especially important to address due to the nature of the API in that it manages both value and trust.

The official way to stay updated is the ripple-server mailing list (maybe to be renamed in the future?)

It's on our to-do list to make this information more prominent in the relevant places of the docs.

To be notified of updates to the client libraries (SDKs), subscribe to the xrpl-announce mailing list.

This information should be added to release notes and also landing pages for API documentation.
