Latest updates from Lago

Product launch

Lago Releases API v1.2.0 with Expanded Filtering Capabilities

Lago has released version 1.2.0 of its API, introducing a new "filters" system to replace the previously used "group" dimension structure. This update allows for infinite dimension depth, performance improvements for real-time usage data, and improved scalability for event ingestion. The update also mandates the use of the `external_subscription_id` field in event payloads, which is required for all new event integrations to enable real-time billing functionalities. Users are required to update their existing integrations to accommodate these structural shifts.
