Release - 21/02/2021

Release Overview

This release coincides with an upcoming soft launch of our first App Store alongside a partner platform. As well as the usual security and general improvements this release introduces the “Tapico Help Centre” that users of the Universal API can use to raise and track issues.

Breaking Changes

Unfortunately any existing consents will have to be reran.
GET / customers - Notification of pending breaking change
- The schema of the universal API can now support customers of type Organisations (EG: Companies, trusts, charities etc).
  - NOTE: This is a breaking change but it is disabled. There is a dependency on a downstream service. Separate communications will be announced with sufficient lead time before the date it will be deployed. We encourage existing applications that rely on the customers endpoint to review the spec now to understand how these changes could impact them.
