# Yandex API Gateway release notes

## April 2026 {#april-2026}

### Fixes and improvements {#fixes-improvements}

* Fixed the processing of URLs with special characters in the `x-yc-apigateway-integration:http` extension: objects in query parameters are now correctly proxied to the target backend without distortions.
* The `batch_cutoff` parameter for triggers in Terraform is now optional. `terraform plan` does not suggest null values for grouping settings anymore.

## March 2026 {#march-2026}

### Fixes and improvements {#fixes-improvements}

* Fixed the service account permission check in specification extensions: the `iam.serviceAccounts.tokenCreator` role is now processed correctly, not just the `iam.serviceAccounts.user` role.
* Fixed Audit Trails audit logs for the API gateway update operation (`UpdateApiGateway`): the `details` and `request_parameters` fields now contain up-to-date values as of the end of the operation.
* Fixed the Container Registry trigger set off by changes in Docker image tags: now the trigger’s message communicates the name of the tag you are adding or deleting.
* Updated the Audit Trails audit logs of Object Storage and Data Streams triggers: fixed proto-validation errors in the `request_parameters.rule` and `details.trigger_rule` fields.

## February 2026 {#february-2026}

### Updates {#updates}

* Added support for API Gateway in the [price calculator](https://yandex.cloud/ru/prices).

## January 2026 {#january-2026}

### Updates {#updates}

* Added support for starting and stopping an API gateway.

## November 2025 {#november-2025}

### Updates {#updates}

* Supported the function call format version `2.0` in the [x-yc-apigateway-integration:cloud_functions](concepts/extensions/cloud-functions.md) extension.
* Adding support for the [x-yc-apigateway-integration:swagger](concepts/extensions/swagger.md) extension.

## September 2025 {#september-2025}

### Fixes and improvements {#fixes-improvements}

* Improved forms for adding the [x-yc-apigateway-integration:http](operations/spec-constructor/http.md) and [x-yc-apigateway-integration:dummy](operations/spec-constructor/dummy.md) extensions in the specification builder: now you can specify HTTP headers and query parameters not in the common field, but use separate fields to enter names and values.
* Fixed an error in the [x-yc-apigateway-integration:cloud_ymq](concepts/extensions/ymq.md) extension when calling the API gateway with the `Content-Type: application/json; charset=utf-8` header: now, instead of Base64-encoded data, the source data is written to the queue.

## July 2025 {#july-2025}

### Updates {#updates}

* Increased the default number of [user networks](concepts/networking.md#user-network) per cloud from 1 to 10. This is no longer a limit but a [quota](concepts/limits.md#api-gw-quotas), which can be changed through a request to support.

## June 2025 {#june-2025}

### Fixes and improvements {#fixes-improvements}

* Improved WebSocket protocol stability in Yandex API Gateway: fixed incorrect ping event processing, fixed unresponsive long-lived connections, optimized event processing.

## May 2025 {#may-2025}

### Updates {#updates}

* Added support for [integration with Yandex Workflows](operations/spec-constructor/workflows.md).

## March 2025 {#march-2025}

### Updates {#updates}

* Added the request execution timeout setting.

## February 2025 {#february-2025}

## January 2025 {#january-2025}

### Updates {#updates}

* Updated the load distribution mechanism:
    * Changed the API gateway service domain format from `https://d5ds7sk1ahjl********.apigw.yandexcloud.net` to `d5dm1lba80md********.i9******.apigw.yandexcloud.net`: the new format contains one level more.
    * Increased the number of external IP addresses used to process user requests; one API gateway can now have multiple IP addresses.

    With the new mechanism in place, the network remains stable when the load increases.
