API & dev

Python SDK 3.37.0 introduces breaking changes to Decisions types

Version 3.37.0 allows Live question instructions to be strings or structured text, image or JSON parts, requiring string-operation checks. The preceding 3.36.1 release fixes per-call WebSocket query settings.

Why it matters: Developers upgrading the SDK should review instruction handling to avoid failures when structured inputs replace strings.
