# NetBeans API Changes since Release 5.0

### NetBeans 5.5

7 Dec 2006

This document highlights changes in NetBeans APIs since previous version (e.g. since 06 Feb 2006). There should not be much changes in stable APIs (if any at all) as most of the development was dedicated to better J2EE end user functionality and those modules do not provide much stable APIs. Much more life API development is currently being done fornext release:

- (Sep 26 '06) org-netbeans-spi-palette: Added helpId attribute
- (Jun 7 '06) org-netbeans-spi-palette: The Common Palette API has been stabilized.
