Readers/Structured Data/Release Timeline

This page attempts to track notable changes and releases by the Structured Data team. We began tracking this in January 2022 and most older data is missing. Feel free to jump in and add anything missing!

🎂 is used to mark releases the team feels are worth celebrating and usually mark the end of a long line of work.

Dates should reflect a date the change went into production and generally correspond with that week's deployment train.

Thanks to the Web team for the inspiration for this page (see /Reading/Web/Release_timeline).
