Version 2.20180712.0 (2018-07-12)

We introduce Square API versions. Square-Version is 2018-07-12 for this SDK.

How versioning works

Square API versions (Square-Version) track changes in the evolution of Connect
v2 APIs. The Square-Version naming scheme is YYYY-MM-DD, which indicates
the date the version was released. Connect v1 APIs are not versioned. Square
continues to support Connect v1, but future releases will focus on improving
Connect v2 functionality.

By default, new Square applications are pinned to the version current at the
time the application was created in the Square Application Dashboard. Pinning an
application sets the default Square-Version for the application. The default
Square-Version of an application can be reviewed and updated at any time on
the settings pages for the application.

Versioning and SDKs

When a new Square-Version is released, new Connect SDKs are publish on GitHub
and various package management systems. SDK updates follow the version
convention of the associated language and manager but include the related
Square-Version in the SDK version. For example, Connect SDKs tied to version
2018-01-04 might look like {SDK_VERSION}.20180104.{VERSION_INCREMENT}.

While SDK versions can be mapped to a related Square-version, SDK versions
follow an independent, incremental versioning scheme to allow updates and
improvements to the SDKs outside of Square-Version updates.

Migrating to new versions

In most cases, Square-version migration should be straightforward, with known
differences listed in the related Change Log.

To test migrations, developers can override the default Square-Version of an
application by explicitly setting the preferred Square-Version in the HTTP
header of the Connect v2 API request for REST calls. Requesting an API version
that does not exist returns an error. Successful API responses include the
Square-Version header to indicate the API version used to process request.

Connect SDK versions are locked to specific API versions and cannot be
overwritten. Instead, the SDK must be upgraded to work with new API versions.
