+- **BREAKING** Change `hydra-node` API `/commit` endpoint for committing from scripts [#1380](https://github.com/input-output-hk/hydra/pull/1380):
   - Instead of the custom `witness` extension of `UTxO`, the endpoint now accepts a _blueprint_ transaction together with the `UTxO` which is spent in this transaction.
   - Usage is still the same for commiting "normal" `UTxO` owned by public key addresses.
   - Spending from a script `UTxO` now needs the `blueprintTx` request type, which also unlocks more involved use-cases, where the commit transaction should also satisfy script spending constraints (like additional signers, validity ranges etc.)
 
-- Update navigation and re-organized documentation website https://hydra.family
