UPDATES

• The OAuth flow can force a sign in page instead of using the signed in session. This is useful for mobile apps with embedded webviews where it’s not easy for the user to sign out.
• /networks method includes the country and ids along with the name of each network.
• Replaced the networks filter with the more accurate network_ids filter. This is way more accurate instead of relying on a name based match.

BUGS

• Improved performance when loading large lists.
• Correctly hide lists with link privacy.
• Fix collection metadata to allow editing existing metadata values.

UPDATES

• Lists support a new link privacy option. This is essentially a private list, with a share_link to allow anyone with the link to view the list. This is useful for private user profiles that still want to share their lists with others.
