ObjectiveFlickr

ObjectiveFlickr 0.9.4 (Ruby) is released. This version fixes a serious defect in URL escaping. In short, you couldn’t pass anything that contained HTML entity characters, white spaces, or CJKV characters–anything that requires URL escaping. My thanks for Tim Parkinson who filed this bug.

Now it works well both in unauthenticated and authenticaed calls. Special care must be taken in making authenticated calls, because the signature string must not be escaped when it’s MD5-checksummed.

There’s the asking how the Objective-C version goes. I’m still working on it, and hopefully it will come out soon. I’m thinking whether the version number should sync though…

This is a minor update of ObjectiveFlickr (Ruby), with the added support for “buddy icon” URL generation and a number of renamed methods (the old ones are deprecated, they still work).
