Hi,

the RMF are supposed to get updated every six months or so, but now it's already almost eleven months since the last update.

This is annoying since the only active API is the v201109 which didn't even exist back then, so quite a few items in the RMF (CampaignTargets, Reporting for example) are pretty much outdated and links are pointing to deprecated pages (or maybe aren't working at all).

So I thought someone had to ask the obvious question for an update.

Any information is greatly appreciated (ideally the RMF update of course).

Best wishes
Alexander

Hi Alexander,

I was revising the RMF page and couldn't find any broken, could you please give me a more specific example?

Best,

- David

Hi David,

thanks for looking into this issue. I looked into RMF page again and the links are all to the v201101 API. Since this is impossible to overlook for someone like you I investigated further and found the solution: Google is always redirecting me to the German page (what I don't want actually, very annoying), and here the links are still the old ones, not updated like in the English page of the RMF. Ok, this (at least for the original RMF in English which can be hard to find) answers my question about v201109 API compliance.

I wouldn't mind having the RMF in English only - but I guess if you automatically redirect readers to a national page it's only fair to ask to update the content in a very timely manner (same with the v201109 API documentation, those redirects went to the old API instead and were extremely annoying when I was working on the update - especially since the German translation of the v201109 API docs (which I didn't really need) took very long to appear).

"This Required Minimum Functionality list is updated approximately every six months." is written in the English page too, so I'd still like to ask if an update is imminent?

Best wishes
Alexander

Hi Alexander,

I'm sorry for the issues with the german translation and other languages in general, we are aware of these and working to have translations out in timely manner. 

There are no plans to update the RMF any time soon, the time set in text is approximate.

Best,

-David

Hi David,

thanks again for the news (that there is no immediate update planned). Well, like I said, I dont mind the other languages left behind - but then please don't make it so hard to find the English version. If you really HAVE to make these uncalled for redirects, then at least offer a language selection tool on the page or make an easily accessible link to the correspondent English page on each Api doc page.

Best wishes
Alexander
