Hi, I am a plugin developer who was bitten by this API change. It's easily worked around with a try...except... structure, but that becomes unneeded clutter. I am working on a plugin that I want to work in the future API and the stable API at version 1.8, so right now I need that clutter to make it work in both versions.
I also have the opposite problem, that there are features in the dev API that I want to use, but they are not in the stable API. I am thinking of the QgsLayer.diagramRenderer() call, which is not found in the older API, even though it is in the docs... :-) So, I second your adding the addMapLayer() call back in, if only to keep my code clutter down :-) Cheers, Angus Carr.
