So... it's not working any longer under 0.7.5? Seems to be a bummer. I know that it's too much to ask this from developers, but wouldn't it be nice if they documented any changes made to the communication protocols? This is the kind of thing that I haven't ever seen happening, and it's not the first time that the XMLRPC API changes without anyone knowing...
I think that the breakage is more likely where the services bundle is using lower level OpenSimulator interfaces that are not formalized and/or documented. I would say this is because the code has grown organically and sometimes things have to change so that they make sense in the long term (this is one reason why I still regard OpenSimulator as an "alpha" codebase). External users have to adapt if they are using these interfaces.
The 'higher' level protocol/interfaces (e.g. the methods exposed on the inventory service or the XMLRPC API) change much less often.
I'm slowly trying to document various protocols/interfaces at [1] but it's slow going since there are an awful lot of them. If there's anything specific people want to know then I'm happy to investigate/write things up when asked.
