Version 1.16.0 of the Benchling SDK makes Webhook subscriptions generally available via the Manifest API. With this release, the BenchlingAppManifestSubscriptions model receives updates for subscribing to Webhooks. This follows from our announcement: Explicit Webhook Subscriptions and Webhook Version Update.

Version 1.15.0 of the Benchling SDK adds a new webhook event type for future use, and adds compatibility with recent versions of the third-party dependencies attrs and backoff.

Version 1.14.0 of the Benchling SDK enables new features related to workflows. This includes adding new services with their associated new methods and model classes, as well as new properties in existing model classes.

Version 1.13.0 of the Benchling SDK is a release focusing on changes to the delivery of Webhooks for both Events and App Signals. This includes adding new types and classes to allow developers to be productive with forward-looking models, as well as deprecating existing V0 shapes.

Existing webhook types are being promoted from v0 to v2, and a new explicit webhook subscription mechanism is being made generally available. These changes will go live on June 11th 2024. This date marks the start of a migration period, during which apps must be updated to support v2 webhooks and explicit webhook subscriptions. This migration period ends on July 11th 2024, at which time v0 webhooks and implicit webhook subscriptions will be fully sunset. Expand for more details.

The lifecycleManagement manifest field is being removed from the manifest specification, and the clientId and clientSecret fields in thev0-beta.lifecycle.activateRequested webhook type are being sunset. This webhook type will be replaced by the v2.app.activateRequested webhook type. Both of these are now considered deprecated, and will be fully sunset on July 11th 2024.
