Changelog for harmonising existing features
Technical Working Group (TWG) has decided to implement the following changes promptly, without a grace period, despite some being breaking changes. These changes aim to harmonise existing features. Following this, the WMDA team will continue developing new features.
We do not have a grace period; changes are delivered as soon as they are ready, following our agile Scrum process. Since Match-Connect is in the sandbox phase and no organisations are in production yet, this approach allows us to continuously improve without batching updates.
