I think best practice is for an API provider to give advance notice to the development community of upcoming changes that are not backward compatible. I don’t know if FamilySearch does this or not. Ideally, the users of the API can then be ready when the API change goes live. It should not be a surprise.

Family Search is concerned about updating their own system for all of their users. If it breaks the API for some of the users that link to them through Legacy or some other software, then that is just how it is. It is up to the software developers to "fix" their software in order to continue to offer the link to their customers. I don't understand how people get this mistaken idea the Family Search (or some other service) has done anything wrong because they had the audicity to update/upgrade their website/service - that they make available free of charge.

You would think that Ancestry and Familysearch were the us Government where if it’s not broken they keep fixing it until it is. Allen From: LegacyUserGroup <[email protected]> on behalf of Michele/Support <[email protected]> LDS members - FamilySearch has changed their API (the programming code we use to interface with them) so you won't be able to see your Ordinance information on FamilySearch through Legacy (via the Temple tab). Luc is working on fixing the code on our side to match theirs and then we will get an update out as soon as possible. -- LegacyUserGroup mailing list [email protected] To manage your subscription and unsubscribe http://legacyusers.com/mailman/listinfo/legacyusergroup_legacyusers.com Archives at: http://www.mail-archive.com/[email protected]/ -- Ronald Bernier, Woonsocket, RI -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- -- LegacyUserGroup mailing list [email protected] To manage your subscription and unsubscribe http://legacyusers.com/mailman/listinfo/legacyusergroup_legacyusers.com Archives at: http://www.mail-archive.com/[email protected]/
