What's new in Google Data Python Client 1.7.0:

March 12th, 2009

Additions:
· Added Google Health classes
· Added YouTube user event activity classes
· Added Calendar guest elements and inlinecomments query parameter
· Contacts sample updated to optionally fetch only the MyContacts group.

Changes:
· Calendar now defaults to service version 2.1, which slightly changes responses and response codes from 2.0.

· To reduce memory usage, GDataObject extensions are stored in arrays only when there is more than one instance of an extension class.
· To reduce memory usage, GDataXMLNode now caches all generated NSStrings, and returns nil instead of empty arrays on getters. This may deviate from NSXML semantics of returning empty arrays.
· GDataOrganization setters now filter out empty string org names and titles.

Bugs Fixed:
· Fixed leak in -keepChildXMLElementsForElement.
· GDataXMLNode now consistently returns cached copies of child elements and attributes rather than duplicate copies.

· Added query parameters prettyprint, protocolVersion, language.
· Updated YouTube, DocList, and Spreadsheet APIs for GData v2, and Spreadsheet and Contacts samples for v2 API changes.
