The software is "new" in the sense that it has been updated since last year, but the core functionality is mostly the same as last year. They started with last year's code and updated it for this year.
I'm not sure about your comment about last year's API- The only "API" available last year from FIRST was a webpage that third parties could scrape (which isn't really an API). This is the first year a true API has existed.
I'm not sure what the plan is for data that wasn't already posted, but I wouldn't be surprised if FIRST put in the effort to upload it.
