Version 3.1 of OpenAPI has been officially released, bringing significant enhancements to the REST API community. Key updates include the ability to describe webhooks within the OpenAPI specification, allowing server-side applications to notify client-side applications of relevant events. This feature, already supported by Bump, integrates webhooks into documentation and changelogs seamlessly. Another major improvement addresses the handling of $ref pointers, enabling the merging of sibling elements with resolved references, which simplifies specifications and reduces code duplication. Bump has also adopted this update, enhancing their support for OpenAPI 3.1. The release promises to offer a better OpenAPI experience, with ongoing efforts to support additional changes in the new version.
