    "Stay up to date with the latest features, fixes, and breaking changes in Canvas." Every entry is
    a calendar date (MM.DD.YYYY) rather than a semantic version — the FHIR API is unversioned and
    ships continuously. 135 dated releases were on the page at capture, with an RSS feed at
    /feed.xml. Entries are tagged by surface, so an API consumer can read only the `api` entries.
current_version:
  api: FHIR R4 (4.0.1) — unversioned service, continuously deployed
  sdk: 0.196.1 (PyPI `canvas`, published 2026-08-13)
  latest_release_date: '2026-08-13'

  - Assess `narrative` and Diagnose `today_assessment` now accept up to 2048 characters.
  - Open tabs now show a reload banner after a Canvas release is deployed, instead of silently running a stale build.

  categories: [bugfix]
  breaking: false
  highlights:
  - Insurance coverage verification now surfaces the reason an eligibility check could not complete (e.g. a clearinghouse error) instead of failing silently.

- date: '2026-08-06'
  categories: [bugfix, sdk]
  breaking: false
  highlights:

- date: '2026-08-05'
  categories: [api, sdk]

  - ServiceProvider data module gains npi, direct_address, is_active, is_customer_managed, science_contact_id and two search-shaping helpers.

  categories: [bugfix, ui, sdk]
  breaking: false
  highlights:

- date: '2026-08-03'
  categories: [bugfix, ui]
