An API artifact has its own lifecycle to govern.A life-cycle contains set of states,actions happened during each state transitions and check list items before do a state transition.With previous APIM previous releases,we had a pre-defined lifecycle with pre-defined six states as ‘CREATED’,’PROTOTYPED’,’PUBLISHED’,’BLOCKED’,’DEPRECATED’,’RETIRED’ and pre-defined actions engaged with each state transitions  which cannot be extend or customize.There was a requirement came from many users,can’t they extend the default API lifecycle engaged with WSO2 API Manager as to add their defined state names,invoke their custom actions during state transitions [eg:send notifications at each transition],add custom checklist items before state transitions.
