 # develop
 
+## Change
+
+A new type member ARAConfigurationType has been added to
+ARADemoPluginDocumentControllerSpecialisation.
+
+**Possible Issues**
+
+In the unlikely case than an ARA document controller implementation previously
+added an ARAConfigurationType member to
+ARADemoPluginDocumentControllerSpecialisation, the code will fail to compile.
+
+**Workaround**
+
+The previous ARAConfigurationType member must be renamed.
+ARADemoPluginDocumentControllerSpecialisation::ARAConfigurationType from now on
+must be a type that has a static member function
+`ARA::ARAAPIGeneration getHighestSupportedApiGeneration()`.
+
+**Rationale**
+
+Supporting the partial persistency feature of ARA 2.3.0 required the addition
+of the new type member.
+
+
 ## Change
 
 The ARA SDK required by JUCE has been updated to version 2.3.0.
