Recent updates
v8.8.13
Release v8.8.13 primarily updates the Web Modeler API integration by adding the newer versions endpoints and deprecating milestone endpoints. It also fixes the modeler delete methods to resolve with a real null value instead of a casted placeholder.
Featuresv8.9.0-alpha.10
v8.9.0-alpha.10 adds Modeler “versions” API support and deprecates the older “milestones” API for Web Modeler 8.9 and later. It also fixes how delete-like methods resolve their return values, so they return real null instead of a cast.

v8.9.0-alpha.9 documents a single change, adding the ability to override the REST client retry configuration via a constructor option.

SecurityFeaturesv8.8.12
