  Veeva's developer release notes are per-release pages, not a dated feed. Each entry carries a
  release-note ID, the limited release it shipped in, and the app family. Entries below are from
  the current 26R2 page; the "Service Announcements" block at the top is Veeva's breaking-change
  channel.
