The most important improvement in this release is the new Swagger/OpenAPI description of the REST API. It is a declarative, machine-readable JSON description of the API that enables automatically generated API documentation as well as client code generation for various programming languages. Other new features include accessibility improvements, better support for reified definitions, and searching concepts by notation code. There are also performance improvements to the search result page, ability to configure SPARQL request timeouts and the possibility to disable the alphabetical index. These performance-related enhancements make it possible to use even very large vocabularies such as LCSH with Skosmos, though some pages will likely be slow to load.
