+'@backstage/backend-openapi-utils': patch
+---
+
+Adds new public utility types for common OpenAPI values, like request and response shapes and parameters available on an endpoint.
+
+**deprecated** `internal` namespace
+The internal namespace will continue to be exported but now uses OpenAPI format for path parameters. You should use the new utility types.
