description: >-
  groundcover publishes a dated, categorised product changelog ("What's New") on its marketing site,
  filterable by area (Dashboards, Explore, gcQL, Integrations, Kubernetes, Logs, Maps, Migrations,
  Monitors, RUM, Settings, Synthetics, Traces). Entries are product-level release notes; they are
  not API-versioned and do not distinguish breaking API changes from additions. API-level change
  signal lives instead in the SDK release notes on GitHub, where the Go SDK declared its workflow
  removal as a named breaking change.

    version: v1.410.0
    breaking: true
    change: >-
      Breaking change AI-461 — the public Go SDK removed CreateWorkflow, ListWorkflows and
      DeleteWorkflow, dropping POST /api/workflows/create, POST /api/workflows/list and
      DELETE /api/workflows/{id} from the supported client surface. The endpoints still answer over
      raw REST for temporary compatibility; the migration target is Destinations + Notification
      Routes.
