Release Notes

Release Notes

Overview

Release Notes provide a record of changes to the Green Dot BaaS platform and Developer Portal. They are designed to help partners understand what has changed, how those changes may impact their integration, and what actions—if any—are required.

You can view all Release Notes in the Release Notes section.


What You’ll Find in Release Notes

Each release includes relevant updates such as:

  • New APIs or endpoints
  • Changes to existing APIs (including request/response updates)
  • Deprecated or removed functionality
  • Updates to authentication, encryption, or required headers
  • Developer Portal improvements and documentation updates

Release Notes focus on partner-impacting changes. Internal maintenance or performance improvements may not always be included unless they affect integration behavior.


Release Timing

Release Notes are published shortly after each Partner Integration Environment (PIE) release.

This timing allows for:

  • Final validation of changes in the environment
  • Capture of any late updates or adjustments
  • Accurate documentation of what is available for partner testing

How to Use Release Notes

Partners should review Release Notes regularly to:

  • Stay informed of new capabilities and enhancements
  • Identify any changes that may affect existing integrations
  • Plan for upcoming deprecations or required updates
  • Validate new functionality in the Sandbox (PIE) environment

Scope of Updates

Release Notes are intended to highlight what changed, not to replace full API documentation.

For complete implementation details, always refer to:

  • API Reference documentation
  • BaaS API Authentication
  • Encryption in BaaS API
  • Example Integration Flows

Feedback

Release Notes are continuously improved to better support partner needs.
