New Backpack API?

Does anyone know if the Backpack API has been updated based on the Backpack changes?

The Backpack API documentation (http://developer.37signals.com/backpack/) doesn’t seem to have changes.

The API was the last thing they updated last time they did an overhaul for backpack. I figure it will be that way this time, too.

If/When they decide to update the docs, they need to update the API Resources as well. Most of the contrib libraries listed there still use the older version of the API which doesn’t support multiple lists per page, and some of them break when they encounter the belongings that were added to pages in the last update (python is the only one I’ve tried). The link to the python lib 404’s.

And of all things, the Ruby lib was never upgraded. If I could have expected something to be a reference implementation, it would have been that.

Updated API docs will be up shortly. Short form: the URLs for separators have changed slightly and reminders now accept a list of recipient user ids.

Great to here. While you’re at it, update the link on the My Info page, about the API key. It still points to http://www.backpackit.com/api .

Are there any plans to add support for images and files to the API?
