smugblog: the API

Seems like we nailed pretty much every bug in the 1.1.1 release, so that’s now the GA release and we’re moving on. 1.2.0 is the new beta release and contains a bunch of great stuff:

• New reponse formats: JSON and serialized PHP
• Updated REST and XML-RPC response formats to closely match JSON and PHP

1.2.0 is a much more solid, unified approach to the API and should provide a great basis for all of the new features we’re working on with the API. None of the methods themselves have changed, so it should be fairly easy to test and update your applications, but the response formats are quite different. We made lots of mistakes with the first few versions of the API and now we’re correcting them thanks to your input.

Please test it out, let us know what works and doesn’t, and more importantly, what you like and don’t like about it. We’re hoping to *quickly* declare this as release quality so we can dump a bunch of new features on you for v1.2.1.
