What's in the New API for Trados Studio 2017?

Question

So far I know there will be a new filtering API for the new filtering view and the Groupshare REST API will have a lot of other new functionality. 
 I wonder if there is anything else we can look forward to?

Hi Jesse, 
 
Only Display Filter API will be released with Studio 2017.

Hello Evzen, 
 We have a long list of fixes and enhancements we want to see that relate to the APIs but every one of them failed to make it into this initial release of Studio 2017, and I don't know how many will be retrofitted into 2015 once the development team start to look at them. Depends on the effort... some will and some won't. 
 At the start of the release work we were hopeful to be able to do more, but as time went on we were unable to focus resource on this area because of the volume of work we had for other things. I'm hopeful we will be able to do more in 2017 through the cumulative updates and service pack releases, and we will keep this community updated of the progress. 
 I have copied a screenshot of the "Developer Satisfaction" list we have already submitted. There is too much detail behind all of this to share it all in here and we can't make this available to non-SDL users, but if you think we might have missed something based on this image alone or want some more detail on a specific item then feel free to ask and we'll be happy to oblige. It's as important for us to make sure we have captured what's missing as it is for you:

Hi Evzen, 
 
I have some sympathy with you... but not a lot! Why don't you have a support & maintenance contract? In my opinion anyone serious about their business should have this and when you do your question simply isn't an issue. In fact if more people did this then we would not be having as many discussions as we do now about the things that are not fixed because we would find it easier as a business to justify additional resource to pay for it. 
 
We definitely have to keep fixing things and want to support our users with as much as we can, but I think it's a 2-way street. We want to provide you with something that works best for all the things you want to do. In return you pay for that service. If you only pay for one version and no maintenance that doesn't seem fair at all. 
 
But that's just my opinion.
