Shopify API: How do I get API schema changes?

Question

We have a custom integration that uses Shopify API. Changes to the schema breaks the integration. Today we have found The field Source has been removed and 3 fields have been added in its place: source_identifier , source_name and source_url. (orders api)

Is there a way to get information on coming changes, so we can be pro-active, rather than waiting for our integration to break in production and look for the changes while our fulfillment service waits?

Better late than never ;) I suggest you checkout the API Accouncements topic in the Shopify forum, as that is where all important API changes are posted:
