API spec wasn't complete The spec server under _/apispec/(json|yaml)_ was lacking type descriptions for the new EDIT feature and parts for the speech transcript export.

EDIT feature You can now request basic redaction via the EDIT feature. At this moment it's the addition of static boxes (staticTrack) and audio regions (addAudioRegions), see examples here.
Video list shows attached user The result of the videos::list route now shows if a session has currently a user attached (real, embedded, API) to it, see IVideoDescriptor.attached in sh-types.

Embedded UI: shadow DOM isolation not thorough enough Keyboard events (mostly) of some elements in the Redactor UI still routed out of the mounting element. This resulted e.g. in problems with export time range selector or having cursor key presses do cause video seeking though being in a dialog and so on.
