  Higher Logic Vanilla ships the cloud platform on a numbered release train and
  publishes dated release notes in the success community knowledge base going
  back to 2016. Each release rolls out in three waves - Staging, Production,
  Enterprise - about a week apart. The API surface evolves with the platform;
  the API v2 overview points readers to release notes for new endpoint
  announcements.
