# Changelog ## October 2026 ### 2026-10-21 #### **Portal update** The documentation navigation is now split into two sections: * Product Docs - collects the articles, the monthly product news, and the product manuals. * Developer Docs - collects the tutorials, instructions, and API specifications. In the sidebar menu: Getting started, Developer Guidelines, TLS Certificates, and the Changelog sit above both sections as shared entry points, so you reach them from either one. The landing page follows the same two-section layout. #### **New content** The **Product Manuals** section now holds its first two manuals. **[Duplicate Guard Integration](/documentation/_public/product-manuals/duplicate-guard-api-integration)** explains how a Duplicate Guard Monitor, the link database, and connected-component grouping fit together when you consume duplicate detection from your own system instead of from the CDQ Cloud Apps. **[Data Mirror Integration](/documentation/_public/product-manuals/data-mirror-integration)** covers both directions of a Data Mirror integration: the three routes for writing business partners in, how to read curated results back out incrementally, and the operational details that account for most of the time lost during a first integration. For the underlying concepts, read the [Data Mirror](/documentation/_public/articles/expertise/data-mirror) article first. ## September 2026 ### 2026-09-29 #### **Portal update** The [Changelog](/documentation/_public/changelog) page now has three combined filter dropdowns: * **Status** (New / Improved / Retired), * **Type** (Documentation / Portal Functions / Specifications), and * **Product** (API specification name). All filters work together, selecting "New" and "Specifications" shows only new API spec entries. The previous single "Entry type" filter has been replaced by this three-axis system. #### **Portal update** Every API page in the sidebar now includes a **Changelog** link that opens the changelog pre-filtered to entries for that API. For example, browsing the [Data Exchange API](/documentation/api/data-exchange/quickstart) and clicking Changelog shows only Data Exchange API changelog entries. The link is available for all API groups: CDQ APIs, Vendor Extensions, A2A Protocols, and MCP Servers. ### 2026-09-22 #### **New Specifications** [CDQ Genius A2A](/documentation/api/genius-a2a/quickstart) v1 is now publicly available in **BETA**. CDQ Genius can now be called by other AI agents and orchestration frameworks via the [Agent2Agent (A2A) 1.0 protocol](https://a2a-protocol.org/latest/specification/) with a JSON-RPC 2.0 binding. The spec exposes three operations: `message/send`, `tasks/get`, and `tasks/cancel`. ### 2026-09-18 #### **New content** **[Product news, September 2026](/documentation/_public/product-news/2026-09-platform-update)** published. Product news is a new monthly page alongside this Changelog. The Changelog stays the authoritative record of every individual change; product news explains once a month what a release means in practice, with worked examples. The September edition covers CDQ Genius, CDQ Data Sharing Platform, Partner Guard, Duplicate Guard, Data Quality Guard, CDQ Lookup, Fraud Guard, Tax Guard and AML Guard. #### **New content** **[Release archive](/documentation/_public/product-news/release-archive/release-archive)** published. The 329 CDQ release notes published between December 2020 and September 2026 are now on the portal, one page per year. They were written at the time of each release and are kept for reference, so they may describe apps and endpoints that have since changed. This Changelog remains the current record. ### 2026-09-09 #### **New content** **[CDQ Genius Capabilities](/documentation/_public/articles/expertise/cdq-genius-capabilities)** article introduction. This article explains what CDQ Genius orchestrates behind the conversation: identity lookup, duplicate detection, web research, curation, validation, qualification, sanction screening, bank account verification and knowledge, with every answer tied to a named source and confidence grade. ### 2026-09-01 #### **Portal update** WSDL and WADL specification files are now reliably available for download from the [API Specifications](/documentation/_public/specifications) page. Previously, these files were generated on demand by an external conversion service, which caused occasional download failures. All files are now pre-generated and served directly as static assets, so downloads no longer depend on any external service availability. The WSDL and WADL files are automatically updated whenever a new API version is released, ensuring that the specifications are always current. ## August 2026 ### 2026-08-31 #### **New content** **[Thailand Address Standard](/documentation/_public/articles/country-standards/thailand-address-standard)** article introduction. This article describes how Thai addresses are structured, how CDQ models them in the CDQ address model, and what reference data CDQ maintains for Thailand. It is the reference for anyone mapping Thai business partner data into CDQ, or consuming curated Thai addresses from CDQ. ### 2026-08-24 #### **Portal update** The Changelog page is now filterable by entry type. A multi-select filter at the top of the page lets you narrow the timeline to the entry types you care about, for example only new content or only new API versions. Clearing the filter shows the full timeline again. ## July 2026 ### 2026-07-31 #### **New content** **[How to Confirm a Business Partner's Identity and Data Quality?](/documentation/_public/tutorials/partner-guard/pg-how-to-confirm-bp-identity-and-data-quality)** tutorial introduction.
