TL;DR

Automated release 0.8.1 of the Go SDK, primarily removing deprecated API endpoints and updating examples/tests to focus on browser session creation over app deployments.

Why we made these changes

This is an automated release to publish recent changes, including the removal of deprecated API endpoints to streamline the SDK and align with current API offerings. The shift in examples and tests reflects an updated focus on browser session management.

What changed?

• Release Automation: Updated .release-please-manifest.json, CHANGELOG.md, and internal/version.go for version 0.8.1.
• API Cleanup & Deprecation: Removed deprecated API endpoints and associated types (e.g., State, StateUpdate) from api.md, app.go, appdeployment.go, shared/constant/constants.go, and shared/shared.go.
• SDK Usage & Examples Refactor: README.md, client_test.go, and usage_test.go were updated to demonstrate creating new browser sessions (client.Browsers.New) instead of app deployments, removing InvocationID from browser parameters, and renaming kernel.AppDeploymentNewParams to kernel.DeploymentNewParams.
• Configuration: .stats.yml was updated for statistics tracking.

Validation

This is an automated release PR. Changes were validated through existing automated test suites, including updates to appdeployment_test.go, client_test.go, and usage_test.go to reflect the new API and usage patterns.

What Changed

This is an automated release that bumps the SDK version to 0.8.1. The primary change is the removal of deprecated API endpoints related to application deployments. Consequently, the README.md example and associated tests have been updated to use client.Browsers.New instead of the now-removed client.Apps.Deployments.New method, reflecting the current recommended usage.

Risks / Concerns

This release introduces a breaking change by removing deprecated endpoints. However, it's being released as a minor version update (0.8.0 -> 0.8.1) instead of a major one. This violates Semantic Versioning and could cause unexpected build failures for users who upgrade, as they might not anticipate a breaking change in a minor release.
