  ThriveCart has no developer-scoped API changelog. Product changes - including changes to the API
  and to webhook payloads - are announced in the "Product Updates" category of the marketing blog,
  interleaved with feature launches and course-platform news. There is a dated RSS feed, which is
  machine-readable, but nothing distinguishes an API-affecting entry from a UI-only one without
  reading the post. Entries below are the recent window from that feed, read on 2026-08-12;
  api_relevant is API Evangelist's classification, not ThriveCart's.

    completed.'

    The single most API-relevant entry in the recent window, and the clearest evidence of drift
    against the official PHP SDK, which has not shipped since 2022-01-19.

  note: Product tags were added to the catalog; the API reference does not document a tags field
    on the product object, so exposure through the API is unconfirmed.
