Two new regions: AP2 in Singapore and EU2 in London

• Singapore / Singapore - api-ap2.scanii.com
• London / United Kingdom - api-eu2.scanii.com

This release marks our fifth API endpoint and furthers our commitment to not only support the data sovereignty of our users but also ensure the quickest API responses as we continue to expand our presence across the globe.

Customers using our latency routed endpoint (api.scanii.com) traffic will begin to flow to the closest region automatically, otherwise, setting your endpoint to your preferred location will ensure your files are processed solely from the region of your choice.

A full list of available regions/domains can be found here .

We are dropping support for TLS 1.0 and 1.1 in March of 2020

In order to ensure that we’re meeting our compliance requirements and providing our customers with the highest possible level of security, we are going to be dropping support for TLS protocol version 1.0 and 1.1 along with weak cyphers on March 1st 2020.

For a specific list of protocol and cyphers being added/removed please reference this chart - we will be moving from bundle 2016-08 to TLS-1-2-2017-01.

If your API client already supports TLS 1.2, there is nothing for you to do, otherwise, you should consider upgrading your dependencies (or runtime) to a newer version.

If you have any questions or concerns, please contact support at support@uvasoftware.com .
