# Face Recognition API Release Notes

## Version History

### Version 1.2

**Release Date:** 2026-06-08

#### Features

- **Reset collection**: new `DELETE /v1/collection/reset` endpoint removes all indexed faces (and their external key associations) from a collection while preserving the collection itself.

#### Changes

- **Collection id validation**: `collection/create` now restricts `collectionId` to letters, numbers, dashes (`-`), underscores (`_`) and dots (`.`). Other characters are rejected with `400`.

---

### Version 1.1

**Release Date:** 2026-06-01

#### Features

- **External keys**: associate your own identifier with a face and look faces up by it via the new `external-key` endpoints (`set`, `get-face-ids`, `delete`).
- **Search responses include the external key**: `search` and `search-or-index` now return the matched face's `externalKey`.
- **Delete by external key**: the `face/delete` endpoint now accepts an `externalKey` in addition to `faceId` (one of the two is required).
