    <description>&lt;P&gt;We don't have a document detailing the differences in these endpoints,&amp;nbsp;but I'll be sure to pass this along as feedback.&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;For reference, in this case, we deprecated these endpoints in order to offer a different return type. For example, the /2/files/move endpoint returns Metadata, while /2/files/move_v2 returns RelocationResult. For now, RelocationResult only contains a Metadata, but using this different type allows us to expand the information returned by this endpoint, e.g., to offer information about the operation itself, without changing the definition of Metadata everywhere.&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;While we recommend migrating offer of these deprecated API v2 endpoints to their non-deprecated replacements, right now it isn't essential. We haven't announced any retirement timeline for these deprecated API v2 endpoints, so they will continue working. If/when we do need to retire them, we will be sure to reach out to any developers still using them with advance notice.&lt;/P&gt;

      <title>changes copy_v2, create_folder_v2, Etc.</title>
      <link>https://www.dropboxforum.com/t5/Dropbox-API-Support-Feedback/changes-copy-v2-create-folder-v2-Etc/m-p/229817#M12492</link>
      <description>&lt;P&gt;Hello, I resumed to develop a project that I started about three monts ago and I found that for some of the things that I had already done and finished the API changed.&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;They are: copy was replaced by copy_v2, create_folder by create_folder_v2... also there are delete_v2, and move_v2 as far as I saw.&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;In a first look, it doesn't seem to be much change, I only noticed that the result changed for delete_v2 but I didn't compare in all detail every API endpoint.&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;My question is, is there any document where I could easily see what the changes are in order to convert my code without having to study all again and compare in detail all the API endpoints that changed?&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;</description>

      <description>Yes, but that makes me question whether I'm doing right in writing a component to provide an easy and intuitive interface for your API, since if the API's endpoints are changing so frequently, my component will be rendered outdated soon.&lt;BR /&gt;&lt;BR /&gt;If I sell this component to other developers that use it on their applications, I would like to have the confidence that it will work for several years.&lt;BR /&gt;&lt;BR /&gt;Microsoft is not a good example in anything, but they usually guarantee at least for ten years their technologies to work.&lt;BR /&gt;&lt;BR /&gt;I already worked about two or three months on this project, it converts many of your asynch API calls into synch functions in an object oriented schema.&lt;BR /&gt;It keeps locally the information of what is in a Dropbox account, and keep it synched calling to list_folder/longpoll&lt;BR /&gt;But now I'm wondering if I have chosen the right niche to work on.&lt;BR /&gt;</description>
