Bugzilla API 0.3 Released

[Gervase Markham]

Version 0.3 of the Bugzilla REST API has been released:
https://wiki.mozilla.org/Bugzilla:REST_API
https://wiki.mozilla.org/Bugzilla:REST_API#Version_0.3_.2824th_November_2009.29

New in this version:

* name=value search for arbitrary fields
e.g "&cf_mycustomfield=somevalue"
* All timestamps are now in UTC, ISO 8601 format
* Support for OPTIONS
* Access-Control-Allow-Origin header now on all responses
(permits cross-site requests)
* Support for downloading bug data for multiple bugs, in full, in a
single request (see docs for search to find out how)
* Text searches now default to "contains_all" (as substrings, space-sep)
* Initial support for decent error codes - however, don't rely on them
not changing!

Compatibility Notes:

* Note that the timestamps format change is backwardly-incompatible.
* All API capabilities now work against bugzilla.mozilla.org, now that
it's been upgraded and patched.
* An advance warning: in the next release, the Configuration object's
"groups" hash will change to be keyed by ID rather than name (and so
also the "id" field will disappear to be replaced by a "name" field).
