 * An API version can now be marked as *Preview* to indicate that the version is not yet stable. This means that endpoints may be added or deleted, and the format of URLs, as well as the amount and type of incoming and outgoing data, may change without notice. However, you are encouraged to migrate your client code for testing purposes. This is your chance to provide us with early feedback so that things can be improved quickly.
 * In addition to the v1 API, there is now a new v2 API (still in preview). The v2 API endpoints aim to follow REST API best practices more closely. Some URLs have been changed and some input and output data elements have been renamed for clarity. Some endpoints return more data than before. Documentation has also been improved.
-* It is now possible to switch between API versions in the API Explorer. Select the desired version from the drop-down list in the upper right corner.

 * There are new API endpoints for querying resource usage data for an organization or project (available in both v1 and v2 API versions).
     * List the aggregated machine and storage usage for each load testing project in an organization:<br>
       `GET /public/api/v1/orgs/<org-short-name>/resource-usage` (requires scope `ORGANIZATION_RESOURCE_USAGE`)

     * The endpoints for querying the list of projects and the list of load tests now support paging, filtering, and sorting via query string parameters. Again, see the API Explorer for details.
 * Date/time input fields are now accompanied by buttons to quickly set a time value relative to the current time (now, +30min, +1h, +2h, +3h, +6h).
 * The minimum width of all tables has been increased so that tables no longer shrink to fit the screen, but instead provide a horizontal scroll bar. Especially on small screens, this may require the user to scroll through tables. However, the information displayed is now often displayed in full length rather than truncated to a few characters.

+## Platform
+
+* API v2 (still in preview)
+    * The URLs of all existing API endpoints have been changed. We have reintroduced the `orgs` path element, so URLs now start with `/public/api/v2/orgs/{org}/...`.
+    * The API endpoints listing projects and load tests support paging. The paging responses have been enhanced with more details. This includes:
+
+        * The offset, limit, and size of the current page.
+        * The URL of the next and previous page.
+        * Base and self URLs.
+
+      See the [API Explorer](https://xtc.xceptance.com/exploreApi) for details.
+* In the [API Explorer](https://xtc.xceptance.com/exploreApi), all endpoints now list the scopes required to call that endpoint more prominently in the description.
+* The system notification window has been redesigned for more clarity.
+
+
+## Load Testing
+
+* The charts on the Project Dashboard can now shrink a bit before wrapping to a new row, so the three charts typically fit in one row even on smaller screens.
+* When overriding the load profile settings in your test suite for a particular load test, you must now specify a value for each parameter, including the ramp-up and shutdown times. This is to ensure that the resulting load curve is exactly as shown in the graph.
+* Currently available XLT execution environments:
+    * XLT 7.x → [7.3.0]({{< relref "/xlt/release-notes/7_3_x" >}}) (deprecated, will be **retired in May, 2024**)
+    * XLT 8.x → [8.1.0]({{< relref "/xlt/release-notes/8_1_x" >}}) (recommended, but **[migration needed]({{< relref "/xlt/release-notes/8_0_x#test-suite-migration" >}})**)
