API Changed for April 22, 2009

[Matt Sanford]

Hi all,

    We had a few bug fixes deployed today while we were working on OAuth stuff. We'll have details on the OAuth stuff tomorrow as well as some more fixes that gut stuck behind a problematic deploy this evening. The fixes deployed today were:

• Fixed (REST): When sending Direct Messages reaching the limit now returns HTTP 403 instead of HTTP 500.
• See Also: http://code.google.com/p/twitter-api/issues/detail?id=445
• Fixed (REST): When uploading a new background image via the API the result was not immediately reflected. This has now been fixed.
• See Also: http://code.google.com/p/twitter-api/issues/detail?id=451
• Feature (REST): Support the user_id and screen_name parameters on the friendship and notification creation methods.
• See Also: http://code.google.com/p/twitter-api/issues/detail?id=465
• Feature (REST): Support the max_id parameter for direct message pagination.
• See Also: http://code.google.com/p/twitter-api/issues/detail?id=467

Thanks;
