• KaiZen OpenAPI Normalizer works with OpenAPI 2.0 and 3.0
  
  KaiZen OpenAPI Normalizer, formerly known as Swagger Normalizer, now works with OpenAPI 3.0 as well as OpenAPI 2.0 (Swagger). KaiZen Normalizer facilitates multi-file OpenAPI projects by resolving external references, consolidating to a single document, and applying default values and cascading properties to ensure seamless documentation and code generation.
  
  
• OpenAPI v3 Advanced Validation
  The OpenAPI Editor now has an Advanced Validation option, enabled by default, to check logical rules specified in OpenAPI v3. This new validation ruleset, provided by KaiZen OpenAPI Parser, augments the existing structural validations in KaiZen OpenAPI Editor.
