I consider this something of a milestone as it's the version where the REST API and Webhooks functionality are both fully integrated into the Core where appropriate.

 

In case you're unfamiliar with the concept, in short :

REST API receives stuff.
Webhooks sends stuff.

So, we now have a version that fully supports plugins that can send and receive data to remote services securely using modern standards.

To help those users who'd like to test this functionality, I've written a case study/tutorial here that will help you to understand how the two features work together. Once you've worked through it, I'm sure you'll join me in being excited by the future implications of this new functionality.

It's been a long 8 months, putting this feature together but now it's here we're ready to start moving forward on the new generation of functionality for the system. Keep an eye out for new features coming later this year as we build integrations for other services.
