Releases API is Official

Hot on the heels of the Search API, the Releases API is now officially part of GitHub API v3. We now consider it stable for production use.

Preview Media Type No Longer Needed

If you used the Releases API during the preview period, you needed to provide a custom media type in the Accept header:

application/vnd.github.manifold-preview+json

Now that the preview period has ended, you no longer need to pass this custom media type.

Instead, we recommend that you specify v3 as the version in the Accept header:

application/vnd.github.v3+json

Onward!

Thanks again to everyone that tried out the Releases API during the preview period. We got some great feedback, and we are already discussing additions to the API.

We can’t wait to see what you ship!
