With our release this past weekend, v1.2 of the API got some much
requested (and needed) TLC. The biggest highlights are: full
AutoResponder support (creating, stats), full content import options
for campaignCreate just like in the app, and support for Creating/
Changing Merge Vars including using the data types. There are lots of
other requested modifications, too.

As always, this is listed in the changelog : http://www.mailchimp.com/api/changelog.php

====================================

plan info, some account stats, installed modules,
contact info, and more. No private information like
Credit Card numbers is available.
** dep: v1.2: getAffiliateInfo() deprecated in favor of
getAccountDetails() - will be removed in future version
** mod: v1.2: campaignCreate()

-- campaignCreate() "archive" option allows sending a base64
encoded binary archive file (zip, tar.gz, etc) that
includes all content, images, css, etc. for a campaign

etc) just like the app does

default_from_name, default_from_email, default_subject,
default_language
for each list returned
** mod: v1.2: Campaign Stats - all methods rechecked to better allow
stats to be returned for Trans and Auto campaigns when
they are and should be available
** mod: v1.2: listMergeVarAdd()

an array of advanced options
-- options array allows configuring: field_type, required, public,
show, default_value, and choices
** new: v1.2: added listMergeVarUpdate() - allows changing most merge
var options except "field_type"
** bug fix: v1.1, v1.2: fix cases when campaignSendNow() would not
properly reports some errors, such as a campaign
not sending due to lack of credits
** bug fix v1.2: campaignSchedule() and campaignUnschedule() - we will
now proprely complain when used with improper
campaign types like Auto and Trans
** mod: v1.2: listInterestGroupAdd() and listInterestGroupDel() - now
properly turn on/off the List's "interest groups"
settings when the first group is added or last group is
removed

====================================
* Webhooks: "cleaned" entries now have a "reason" field - either
"hard" for a bounce or "abuse" for an abuse report. Previously
abuse reports were not being returned
