- Removal of Volcanic Ash Advisory (VAA) information from Web Services – To reduce the amount of duplicate content in the briefing responses, the VAAs will no longer be listed separately under the volcanicAshAdvisory section; however, they will continue to be listed under the flow control section. For briefing requests with the versionRequested set to a value prior to 20180101, the volcanicAshAdvisory section will contain the following boiler text: "Current Volcanic Ash Advisory data for this briefing, if any, are under 'Flow Control'". If the version requested is 20180101 or later, the volcanicAshAdvisory section will be null for the NGB briefing type, or not included for SIMPLE and EMAIL briefing types.
- Addition of Beacon Code to flight plan requests - In FileFlightPlanRequest, ActivateFlightPlanRequest, and AmendFligthPlanRequest, if a versionRequested value of 20180213 (or later) is specified, the response will contain a beacon code if one is assigned. If the versionRequested is prior to 20180213, a beacon code will not be returned in the response.
