On February 9th, 2013, we will be sunsetting all versions of the Java DART API prior to 13.4.8. This change has been planned since August. We extended the deadline for this change from its original date to February, and now this deadline is quickly approaching.

We will continue to support the current as well as the three previous versions of the Java DART API. You can expect to update your applications once a year under this new policy. Version 13.4.8 is currently the earliest version supported, but another release is on the horizon in March, 2013. To better future-proof yourself, we strongly recommend that you use at least version 13.6 or consider upgrading to the DFA Reporting API.

After February 9th, requests from a version prior to 13.4.8 will begin returning errors. You can find the latest download for this API in our help center. Please ensure your applications are updated. You can reach out to us with questions and concerns on our forum.

We recently announced that the Java DART API now has version limitations placed upon it. Going forward, we are going to only support the 4 most recent versions of this API. With a release cycle of approximately 3 months, this translates into one required update per year. Now that you may need to migrate to a newer version, we will be posting release announcements on this blog to keep you up to date.

Java DART API Releases Version 14.2

A new version of the Java DART API is now available: 14.2. There are no changes pertinent to DFA developers in this release. Since this is now the fourth officially supported version, no one needs to migrate to a newer version of the Java DART API at this time.

We strongly recommend you migrate from the Java DART API to the DFA Reporting API, our new reporting platform, at your earliest convenience.

DFA API v1.18 Sunset Pushed Back

We previously announced that version v1.18 of the DFA API would be sunset in December. This sunset has been pushed back until after the holiday season. You should still migrate to v1.19 as soon as possible in order to future-proof yourself, but no immediate action is required at this time. The new sunset date for v1.18 will be announced on this blog at a later date.

All of your questions are always welcome on our forum.
