  Balance publishes a dated product-update changelog on a LaunchNotes-hosted
  portal (updates.getbalance.com), cadenced as monthly "Product Updates" posts
  plus occasional feature announcements. A separate announcement introduced API
  Version 2.0 (2024-04-17) as a major upgrade. The API itself is versioned "v2";
  the changelog does not publish a machine-readable per-version diff. Recent
  entries captured verbatim below; the live portal is the source of truth.
