I had to stay up late implementing emergency hacks to fix this. Is
your new update going to break them now? i.e. Are you removing now the
behavior introduced of wrapping the feed in a
gdata.io.handleScriptLoaded? We need to know if you are returning to
previous behavior, more details on your fix.

I'm really disappointed with Google on this one. I understand mistakes
happen, but when stuff like this happens, it is nearly impossible to
determine what the cause is because you guys decided to just willy-
nilly change API behavior without testing it and there is no support
(paid or unpaid) that can answer what it is you guys have done. So
instead of a nice peaceful evening, I get to spend hours tracking down
a bug with clients breathing down my neck asking why are we using
Google Picasa if they are just going to break? If it was a service
outage I could at least say, Hey sorry it's down these things happen,
but to just introduce a change to your API code without testing it?
Why even? Why not just branch it off? It's not like this is some
ancient API version we are using, it just came out about 2 years ago.
