Older Versions
Did a feature of ReportingCloud arrive before 2020, and when? Every year from the release in 2016 to 2019 has a page with its changes by area, each with its date and a link to the page that documents it. In these years, the Web API gained nearly all of its endpoints and merge settings, and the service moved from TX Text Control X14 to X16. The pages serve developers who maintain an application written in these years, or who want to know whether a blog article or a sample predates a feature.
The years from 2020 on are described in What's New, together with the breaking changes and deprecated APIs.
Years at a Glance

| 2019 | TX Text Control X16, plain text output, thumbnails of uploaded documents, the status page, removeEmptyLines and tracked changes |
