GitHub has modified its notification features, rebranding "Watching" as "Starring" to serve as a bookmarking tool for interesting repositories, while "Watching" now specifically refers to receiving notifications. This change presents a challenge for the GitHub API, prompting a phased rollout of new API endpoints to ensure developers can upgrade their applications smoothly without disrupting existing functionality. New Star endpoints have been introduced, alongside the continued support for existing Watch endpoints, though with updated paths using "subscriber" and "subscriptions" to avoid conflicts. To aid developers in adapting to these changes, GitHub has introduced a Changes blog on the API Developer site, featuring updates on upcoming changes and an Atom feed for subscription, with further updates available through the @GitHubAPI Twitter account.
