 REST API
 -----------
 
+* API version upgraded to 26
 * Improved parsing of multiple numerical values in DICOM tags.
   https://discourse.orthanc-server.org/t/qido-includefield-with-sequences/4746/6
+* POSSIBLE BREAKING-CHANGES:
+  In DICOMWeb json, the "DS - Decimal String" values were represented by float numbers
+  and they are now represented as strings to avoid loss of precision when the decimal
+  number can not be exactly represented as a float.  This is based on the DICOMWeb
+  standard https://dicom.nema.org/medical/dicom/current/output/chtml/part18/sect_F.2.3.html
+  - DS values can be represented as String or Number in Json.
+  - For IS, DS, SV and UV, a JSON String representation can be used to preserve the original 
+    format during transformation of the representation, or if needed to avoid losing 
+    precision of a decimal string.
