name: Walnut Product Updates
description: >-
  Walnut publishes a dated, public release-notes stream in its knowledge base — roughly monthly
  since March 2021, with occasional mid-month posts, and machine-readable through the knowledge
  base catalog at help.walnut.io/api/v1/docs.json. It is a PRODUCT changelog: it records
  application features shipped, not API contract changes. Nothing in the recent window announces
  or deprecates a Customer Data API endpoint, field, or behaviour, so an API consumer gets no
  change signal from it.

    Reviewed every 2026 entry. None mentions the Customer Data API, the MCP server, webhook
    payload fields, or any endpoint change. The API's own documentation carries an undated
    "Current Limitations" list instead of release notes, and Walnut's API overview page states
    "Full API reference is being auto-generated".

gaps:
  - No RSS or Atom feed for the changelog itself (the status page has one; the release notes do not).
  - No entry covers the Customer Data API or the MCP server.
  - No breaking-change flag, version number, or migration note on any entry.
  - March and May 2026 have no published entry; the stream is monthly but not strictly.
