What are the plans for versioning the API?

In general, CTX will conform to Cisco policy of supporting up to two major releases backwards.
Our versioning scheme will be invocation context-based. That is, we will include the version number in the URL path for subsequent versions. For example, the initial version of the CDR API will be located at a URL that looks like this:
http://1.2.3.4/ctxapi/api/cdr
Our next version will be located at a path something like this:
http://1.2.3.4/ctxapi/api/v2.0/cdr
In this example, if CTX is currently at version 2.0, a client designed to work with the initial version can continue to use the first URL path above. CTX will be able to differentiate these down-rev requests and respond in a backward compatible way.
