+ ### User-context authentication for webhook and X Activity subscription management
+
+ You can now manage [webhooks](/x-api/webhooks/introduction) with OAuth 2.0 user-context authentication. `GET /2/webhooks`, `POST /2/webhooks`, and `PUT` / `DELETE /2/webhooks/{webhook_id}` all accept OAuth 2.0 user context; `GET /2/webhooks` also now accepts OAuth 1.0a user context. Previously, listing webhooks required app-only (Bearer) authentication.
+
+ The [X Activity API](/x-api/activity/introduction) subscription endpoints `PUT` and `DELETE /2/activity/subscriptions/{subscription_id}` now also accept OAuth 2.0 and OAuth 1.0a user context in addition to app-only authentication. If your app manages webhooks and subscriptions on behalf of users, you no longer need to switch auth flows to do so.
+
+ ### Lower streaming latency
+
+ We reduced the P99 latency of the high-volume streaming endpoints from ~6-7 seconds to **~4-5 seconds**, including [Filtered Stream](/x-api/posts/filtered-stream/introduction). Streams still prioritize full data hydration; for the lowest possible latency, use [Powerstream](/x-api/powerstream/introduction). See [consuming streaming data](/x-api/fundamentals/consuming-streaming-data) for delivery guarantees.
