description: >-
  Ant Media publishes no separate API changelog. The product changelog is the GitHub Releases
  feed on the Community Edition repository, where each release lists the merged issues and PRs
  across the server, StreamApp, the management console and the parent POM. The REST API's own
  path version (v2) has not moved across any of these releases.
scheme:
  product: semver — MAJOR.MINOR.PATCH, tagged ams-vX.Y.Z
  api: uri-path — /v2/, unchanged since the 2.x line
  note: >-
    Product version and API version move independently. The 3.x server line still serves /v2/
    and its specs still read info.version "V2.0".
current_version:
  product: 3.1.0
  released: '2026-08-31'
  api: v2

  detail: >-
    Ant Media serves a machine-readable index of every published spec version behind the
    Swagger UI at https://antmedia.io/rest/ — a JSON array of {url, name} pairs, one pair per
    release for the application REST API and one for the management panel REST API. As of
    2026-09-02 it lists 3.1.0 down to the 2.x line. This is an unusually good versioned-spec
    archive and it is the single most useful discovery surface Ant Media publishes.
