# Release Notes

> Monthly technical release notes for the Hello Clever APIs, Merchant Portal, reporting, and Payment Gateway, with links to the full documentation.

Each month we publish a technical summary of the changes that affect your integration and your team's use of Hello Clever. Every entry states what changed at the field, endpoint, or status level, and links to the page that documents it in full.

Entries are grouped into the same five categories every month:

| Category | What it covers |
| - | - |
| **Breaking changes** | Changes that can break an existing integration or alter behaviour it relies on: removed or renamed fields, new validation, changed response shapes. Each entry ends with the action required. Read this first. |
| **Merchant Portal** | New screens, workflows, statuses, and permissions in the Merchant Portal. |
| **API** | New endpoints, payment methods, request fields, and sandbox tools across the v1, v2, Card, and Cashback APIs. |
| **Reporting** | The Reporting API and settlement report files. |
| **Payment Gateway** | Payment Gateway 3 and the hosted checkout experience. |
