Updates and continuous integration
This interface ensures backwards compatibility in general. Existing fields will not be changed or removed. Under very rare and special circumstances such change will performed, we will state out such a change in particular through this interface specification. New request, fields, blocks can be added anytime. Each third party interface, which connects to this interface, needs to ensure that such enhancement does not affect the function of the interface in a negative way.
