  SAP publishes release information for SAP BW/4HANA as a per-support-package
  "What's New" set on the SAP Help Portal plus a consolidated release
  information PDF. It is a product release log, not an API changelog - no
  entry is scoped to an API contract, because SAP publishes no API contract
  for BW.

  note: >-
    Removals and replacements are published separately from the What's New
    feed, in the per-release Simplification List (PDF).
gaps:
  - >-
    Dates are missing from most What's New pages; the help portal exposes a
    document date rather than a release date, and those dates cluster on
    documentation-rebuild days (2026-07-13, 2026-08-24) rather than on
    shipping events.
  - >-
    There is no RSS/Atom/JSON changelog feed. Everything here was assembled
    from the help portal's search service and PDFs.
  - >-
    SAP Notes, which carry the actual per-fix detail, sit behind the SAP
    Support Portal S-user login.
