I have been using the Stock News API on a project and it has suddenly and unexpectedly broken without a useful error code.

As of January 2020, I was using the following endpoint: https://finnhub.io/api/v1/news/SYMBOL?token=API_TOKEN

After some searching I found the new Company News endpoint, but I could find no documentation about the previous usage being experimental or deprecated. I don't understand the use of API versioning if it isn't going to be respected for breaking changes.

Is there a place for official release notes or a changelog for updates to the Finnhub API?

Sidenote: I appreciate Finnhub immensely and all the work your team does, just trying to make it better for consumers using it. 😄

Our apology for these sudden changes. Our retail offering is pretty new so we are trying to move a bit fast. We will try our best to do a better job at alerting everyone regarding API change. For news, you can now query historical news as well so can backfill your database.
