Breaking changes

Accounts in the US now require specifying capabilities at creation timeBreaking changes

What’s new

Starting with the 2019-02-19 API, the requested_capabilities property is now required at creation time for accounts in the U.S. To learn more, see Account capabilities.

Impact

This change mandates the inclusion of the requested_capabilities property when creating accounts in the U.S. You must now explicitly specify the capabilities they want for new accounts, which provides more control over account functionalities.
