API Changes Release Date

[importsjc]

Hi all,

My team didn't look at any of the API changes until kickoff when we downloaded the new code and ran our old code against it to check backwards compatibility.

Unfortunately, this broke a couple of very important components and we spent more of the following week fixing those issues than I would have hoped.

I am wondering when the earliest I could have accessed the API and its changes was? Could we have had access before kickoff or do they restrict it like they do the game details?

Thanks for the help!
