I've just added the first entry to the REST API Changelog at
http://apiwiki.twitter.com/REST+API+Changelog.  You'll find that we
shipped a number of fixes today:

* Fixed: error messages returned by the API will be returned in the
format of the original request.  For example, if you request
/statuses/user_timeline.json and your request incurs an error, you'll
get a response describing that error in the form of a JSON hash.

* Security: statuses of protected users are no longer leaked by adding
them as favorites via the API.

* Fixed: /users/show and other methods will now show you the
attributes of a protected user you are not authorized to see, but not
that user's current status.  Previously, you were not allowed to see
any data about protected users with that method, but this behavior
diverged from that of the Twitter website, where a protected user's
location, description, and so forth are visible to anyone.

* Fixed: user-defined callbacks on JSON requests will no longer be
omitted from requests that have been page-cached on Twitter's side.
If you were only seeing your callback intermittently when requesting
JSON, this should be resolved.

* Fixed: a higher daily limit for the number of statuses you can mark
as a favorite.  This should help out favorite-related bots.

* Fixed: more informative error messages when marking a status as a
favorite via the API fails.

Nearly all of these fixes are thanks to the inimitable Matt Sanford
(@mzsanford).  If one of these was your pet bug, send him thanks.
