334- Removed support for version 1 of the core GData protocol.  (See the Google
335  Data APIs migration guide for core protocol version information.)
336
337- Batch fetches now always disable shouldIgnoreUnknownXML so that the results

353
354- Rather than warn about an omitted user agent, the library just quietly
355  defaults to the bundle ID instead.  Library users no longer need to call

423Changes
424
425- Fetch callbacks now have a single selector rather than separate success
426  and failure methods
427
428- Most service-specific fetch calls have been removed; clients should use
429  the fetch calls in GDataServiceGoogle and GDataServiceGoogleBase
430
431- Tightened URL encoding rules so portions of feed URLs are more strictly
432  percent-encoded
433
434- Docs sample app now downloads docs by exporting as text files
435
436- Photos API now makes version 2 API requests
437

478  http://code.google.com/apis/calendar/changelog.html
479
480- Release builds on iPhone now compile out the elaborate descriptions
481  for each GDataObject.  Developers can set GDATA_SIMPLE_DESCRIPTIONS

496
497- For parsing performance, GDataObject extension declarations are cached
498  rather than duplicated in each object.
499
500- To reduce memory usage, GDataObject extensions are stored in arrays only
501  when there is more than one instance of an extension class.
502
503- To reduce memory usage, GDataXMLNode now caches all generated NSStrings,
504  and returns nil instead of empty arrays on getters. This may deviate from
505  NSXML semantics of returning empty arrays.
506
507- GDataOrganization setters now filter out empty string org names and titles.
508
509Bugs Fixed
510

522
523Additions
524
525- Added -setShouldServiceFeedsIgnoreUnknowns to service classes, allowing
526  for faster feed parsing on iPhone by ignoring unexpected XML, but requiring
527  that entries from such feeds must be individually fetched by the client
528  before being updated.
529
530- Added GDataServerError, representing error responses from services supporting
531  structured errors.  On feed and entry fetch errors, a GDataServerErrorGroup
532  will be available from the NSError object's userInfo dictionary
533  with the key kGDataStructuredErrorsKey.
534
535- Added explanatory server error text as NSLocalizedFailureReasonErrorKey to

543  of feed capabilities
