Dewpoint and Relative Humidity missing from Forecast API

[ChrisQuest666]

I have had a feed working for quite some time and starting sometime last week, the Dewpoint and Relative Humidity is no longer in the "periods" feed. According to the documentation example it should still be there. As an example, here is one of the sites I pull: [https://api.weather.gov/gridpoints/LWX/83,69/forecast] . This gives me the following, which as of today is missing the dewpoint and relative humidity. Is this a new change?

SUBJECT: Upgrade NWS API Website Forecast and Alerts Endpoints,
Effective June 20th, 2024
On or about June 20th, 2024 at 1400 Universal Coordinated Time (UTC), the
National Weather Service API Application Programming Interface (Website)
will be upgraded to version 1.13. With this upgrade comes the following
user-impactful changes:

Removal of the following parameters from the
/gridpoint//,/forecast endpoint:
updated, Relative Humidity, and Dewpoint
Example: https://api.weather.gov/gridpoints/EAX/45,35/forecast
A) Users who are using the “updated” parameter in their parsing of the
data can use the “updateTime” field which shows the same time.
B) The Relative Humidity and Dewpoint values are being removed as they
are not consistent with the 12 hour periods as currently presented.
These parameters will still be available on the
/gridpoint//, and /gridpoint//,/forecast/hourly
endpoints.
Requests to the alerts endpoint with the active and zone parameters
will be redirected to the discrete endpoint.
Example:
https://api.weather.gov/alerts?active=true&zone=WYZ118
Will be redirected to:
https://api.weather.gov/alerts/active/zone/WYZ118
Additionally, users are advised that the active parameter on the /alerts
endpoint is deprecated and is subject to removal in a future update of the
API. The /alerts/active endpoint should be used as the replacement.
Resolution of WFO Anchorage (AFC) errors on the points and gridpoints
endpoints.
Examples of endpoints that are being resolved:
https://api.weather.gov/points/61.2175,-149.8583
This will now return values for forecast, forecastHourly,
forecastGridData, and observations.
https://api.weather.gov/gridpoints/AER/126,236/forecast
and
https://api.weather.gov/gridpoints/AER/126,236/forecast/hourly
also will return data.

Just mentioning that the documentation for the /gridpoints/{wfo}/{x},{y}/forecast endpoint still shows the relativeHumidity and dewpoint parameters in the example response.

Thank you. This has been documented for removal.
