Here's the XML-RPC changes that are currently in for 2.7 that have new from 2.6.2: - New methods: - wp.getTags - wp.getComment - wp.getComments - wp.deleteComment - wp.editComment - wp.newComment - wp.getCommentStatusList - Method changes: - metaWeblog.getPost now returns a enclosure data (if there is one for the post) - metaWeblog.getRecentPosts now returns an empty array instead of an error if there are no posts Lots of comment management features, and starting with some tag management. Please test these out (either check out -trunk or use a nightly build) and let us know if there are any errors so that we can get them fixed in time for the 2.7 release. Thanks. -- Joseph Scott joseph at randomnetworks.com http://joseph.randomnetworks.com/ From joseph at randomnetworks.com Wed Oct 29 16:37:30 2008 From: joseph at randomnetworks.com (Joseph Scott) Date: Wed, 29 Oct 2008 10:37:30 -0600 Subject: [wp-xmlrpc] Encoded values in tag & category names Message-ID: I've recently been digging into an issue where tag & category names are exposed this encoded values. For instance, if a tag name is 'black & white' then it gets exposed as 'black & white'. After some investigation it turns out this is a problem that has been in WordPress for awhile (it's not new to the upcoming 2.7 release). I've been able to track down where and why it's happening, but to properly fix will require a adjusting a number of things. With the currently push to get 2.7 released soon, we've decided to push fixing this problem back to after 2.7 gets released. I've added a ticket to track this issue: http://trac.wordpress.org/ticket/8002 Thanks to Joe Cheng at Microsoft for bringing this up and prodding me to look into it :-) -- Joseph Scott joseph at josephscott.org http://josephscott.org/
