API Changelog
Every change to the PaperFox API, newest first.
Changes that are additive under the compatibility policy
— new endpoints, new optional parameters, new response fields, new enum members —
ship without a version bump and are recorded here. Breaking changes would require
/api/v2; there have been none.

Create submissions
Added POST /api/v1/submissions — create a paper. Requires the write scope
and an Idempotency-Key header. Enforces the same submission window, late pass,
and quota rules as the web form, and validates the body against the track's
submission form.
Additive under the compatibility policy: a new endpoint, no change to any existing one.
v1 — initial release
The first public version. Read-only.

(
application/problem+json); branch oncode. - Rate limits are per user, with
X-RateLimit-*andRateLimitheaders on every response. - Timestamps are RFC 3339 UTC.
