Release History

This document describes substantial or breaking changes to the Event Data system.

Changes

[2023-02-28]

  • The Twitter agent has been turned off and not collected events since 23 February 2023.
  • As part of the ending of our contract with Twitter, we are obliged to remove all events and evidence records collected by the Twitter agent. Tweets will therefore no longer be available in API queries from 1 March 2023.

[2019-01-10] Change to Twitter URLs

New Twitter guidance means that for future Events we are unable to share Tweet URLs. Instead we use custom URIs to express Tweet IDs and author usernames. They still contain all the necessary information to identify the Twitter Content and retrieve the data from the Twitter APIs. Full documentation on the Twitter Agent page.

[2019-01-10] Update Release History page and copy editing

The Release History page now tracks substantial changes to the Event Data Service, not just changes to the documentation. From this point onward it also includes versions of software releases that correspond to changes.

The guide was also reviewed for wording.
