XML-RPC API unbundled from Serendipity 0.9
Isotopp am um :
What does this technobabble mean?
It means that S9Y 0.8.3 and up will come with a function disabled that you do generally not use. By disabling this normally unused function, S9Y offers one less function to the net that may be used to attack the software. This is generally considered a good thing and a safer default that offering unused and badly maintained functionality.
If you happen to use an external editor on your PC to write your entries for your blog instead of the editor provided by S9Y, then and only then you need to enable the XML-RPC posting plugin. This is not the case for most users of S9Y.
Wesley am um :
Current SVN listing still shows the XML PHP file as part of the trunk as well as the branch. I wonder if they will be removed now?
Garvin am um :
That's intentional. The file is still there, but it has "empty"/dummy content to support the plugin hook.
Jannis am um :
Just like my head.
Keilaron am um :
Stupid question: I use the LJ-post plug-in, which uses XML-RPC to post to LJ. Is this plug-in affected by this change?
Garvin am um :
You are right, thanks a lot for noticing. I adjusted those requirements and re-uploaded the .tgz file and committed it to our additional plugins repository.
