Platform News - November 2008

6 Nov 2008
We've been busy working on the hi5 platform.  Recent releases include:

  • Flash 9/10 Compatibility -- With Adobe's recent release of Flash 10 we noticed a number of security related problems.  We've updated our OpenSocial server to send the correct headers for proxied flash content.  The API server now has a new crossdomain.xml that will allow for the same level of compatibility as Flash 9.
  • XRDS Discovery -- You can find our new XRDS-Simple data on http://sandbox.hi5.com.  More about this in the near future.
  • LifeCycle Pings -- We now send user specified parameters with each ping.
  • OpenSocial Templates -- See http://www.opensocial-templates.org/ for more info.
  • Other Bug Fixes -- Problems with multipart/form submissions and Accept header issues are now solved.

 OpenSocial Developers please take note of the following planned changes:

  • Apps in the gallery will soon be sorted by engagement.  Previously we randomly sorted the top 100 Applications in the category.
  • Profile pages will only show the users top five applications.  Each user can choose which five will appear.
Please feel free to send us feedback on these changes to platform-help@hi5.com
