Stripe API version 2017-05-25

[Brandur Leach]

Hi Stripe API users!

Today we cut a new API version: 2017-05-25 [1]. Here's the

change list:

* The `managed` property on account objects has been

  replaced by the `type` property, and is now required for

  account creation. Possible values are `standard`,

  `express`, or `custom`. This is to help support new

  Express accounts (blog post here [2]).

* Event objects (and webhooks) now show entire sub-arrays

  in previous_attributes when those arrays have changes.

  Previously those sub-arrays only contained the specific

  fields that were changed.

* Event objects (and webhooks) will now render a `request`

  subobject that contains a request ID and idempotency key

  instead of just a string request ID. This is to support a

  previously unhandled edge case [3].

* The `user_id` field of Connect-related event objects (and

  webhooks) has been renamed to `account`.

As usual, these changes won't affect your integrations

until you upgrade.

On a meta note, we're trying to revive this list (it hasn't

seen much use in a while), but in a more useful form. The

previous weekly emails about which new versions of our

libraries had been released was pretty low signal, and

we'll be keeping an eye on making future content more

interesting and succinct.
