  APRA ships no API, so there is no API version, no Sunset/Deprecation header support
  and no SLA to record. What APRA does run a lifecycle for is its data-lodgement
  channel and its reporting collections — and that lifecycle is documented, dated and
  currently mid-migration. This artifact records that real lifecycle rather than an
  API one.
versioning:
  scheme: dated-release
  api_version: none
  current: APRA Connect (production), APRA Connect test (parallel environment)
  docs: https://www.apra.gov.au/apra-portals/apra-connect/apra-connect-release-notes
  collection_versioning: >-
    Individual reporting collections carry their own version suffix in the taxonomy
    artefacts (for example "APRA-GRS 320.0 Liability Roll Forwards-V10"); a new
    artefact pack supersedes the previous one for that industry.

  - name: Direct to APRA (D2A) legacy submission client

    announced: '2026-03-27'
    reason: >-
      Security vulnerabilities identified through a routine penetration test on
      19 March 2026. APRA took the client offline for entity access the following day
      and accelerated the migration of all data collections to APRA Connect.
    replacement: APRA Connect (https://connect.apra.gov.au)
    consumer_action: >-
      Uninstall the D2A client (default install path C:\D2A); review internal system
      and data security measures; contact dataanalytics@apra.gov.au for interim
      secure submission instructions (XML or XBRL preferred) until the collection is
      migrated.

    note: >-
      Collections migrate industry by industry; each migration lands first in the
      APRA Connect test environment and is announced in the release notes (for
      example EFS collections in February 2026 and market risk collections in
      November 2025, both test-environment first).
