ObjectiveFlickr 0.9.2 (Ruby) in Sync with the New “farm id” Requirement

Also posted in Flickr API Group.

The Ruby version of the ObjectiveFlickr library has been updated. Version 0.9.2 includes support for Flickr’s new “farm id”, now required for newly uploaded photos since the format’s announcement.

Your old code will work without any change. If you also use this library’s helper functions that help you handle the photo information (a hash that stores photo id, server id, “secret”, and the newly-added farm id), there should be no problem working with new photos too.

Other minor changes include some refactoring and deprecations that should lead to cleaner code and style. Documentation is also updated. Please refer to its release notes for details.

To install ObjectiveFlickr, simply use “gem install objectiveflickr” for the latest version. The Ruby version is hosted at http://rubyforge.org/projects/objectiveflickr.

The Objective-C version (hosted separately at http://code.google.com/p/objectiveflickr/) will be updated shortly. I’m refactoring part of its code so it may take another few days.
