We launched a few different things today, 2009-02-24:
* Fixed: Calls to /friendships/exists.json were returning
incorrect results. (http://code.google.com/p/twitter-api/issues/detail?id=312
)
* Feature: The /users/show call now accepts the parameters
user_id and screen_name to allow disambiguation of numeric screen
names. (http://code.google.com/p/twitter-api/issues/detail?id=162)
And for those in the OAuth closed beta:
* Security (OAuth): Misconfigured applications could use insecure
PLAINTEXT signatures. This has now been explicitly disallowed.
* Fixed (OAuth): Changed OAuth tokens to work correctly during
database replication delays.
* Feature (OAuth): Removed the approval process for new
applications. New applications will be allowed by default and we will
review and revoke as needed.
Thanks;
