Versioning
The FIMMAS Data Services API uses semantic versioning. Given a version number MAJOR.MINOR.PATCH, increment the:
- MAJOR version when you make incompatible API changes
- MINOR version when you add functionality in a backwards-compatible manner
- PATCH version when you make backwards-compatible bug fixes
When any changes are made to the Data Services API, they will be noted in the API changelog. It is worth noting that the API is intentionally designed to contain as little application logic as possible. Changes are made to the FIMMAS functionality exposed through the FIMMAS Data Services API without requiring a new verison of the FIMMAS Data Services API itself. This means breaking changes will be uncommon, but the changelog should still be reviewed before installing updates.
If you have implemented your own API requests it is important you discuss your
specific implementation with your site manager.
