CHANGES:

rest-more 1.0.0 – 2012-03-17

Enhancement

All clients are now asynchrony-aware. Asynchrony support is added in
rest-core >=1.0.0. Whenever you pass a callback block, the response
would then be passed to the block. Error handling is different, too.
In synchronous style, usually an exception would be raised, but in
asynchronous style, the exception would be passed to the block instead
of being raised.

  • [Dropbox] Added Dropbox support.
  • [Bing::Error] Added code method to get the original error code.
  • [Twitter::Error] Added code method to get HTTP status code.
  • [Facebook::Error] Instead of passing [true], pass error
    messages.
  • [Facebook] Pages related API is reimplemented. Passing a block
    would
    result a serious call to the callback block, ending with a nil.
  • [Config] Make sure the default attributes module is there even if
    the config file isn’t presented.
