17 January 2014
Extended AntiVirus Scan API to produce equivalent output in JSON format.
Added two new APIs for Encrypt and Decrypt.

9 January 2014
Two new APIs introduced, DropItem Accept and DropItem Reject, to facilitate the acceptance and rejection of dropfiles.
Document the AntiVirus Scan API, which was created much earlier but was not published then.

29 December 2013
DroptTo (dropto.cgi)
Extended to accept new input parameters item_list_json and email_list_json to complement item_list and email_list.
As the name imply, item_list_json and email_list_json accepts list input in the form of a JSON object.

23 December 2013

Dropbox Listing (dbox_list.cgi)
Bugfix for the case of requesting for from_user list and database handle getting disconnected prematurely.
Also revise documentation for this API to include sortby and sorthow parameters, additional examples, and improve clarity.

GetDir's documentation added for fields=lock_owner. This was left out earlier.

06 December 2013

GetItemInfo extended return UCAR settings of item (where available) in the form of a JSON object. Also extended to return entire API response as a JSON object.
Added input parameter “ofmt” to control the API response format, JSON or legacy format.
Added documentation on the input parameter “lock_owner” which was left out previously.
Corrected the returned value of “lock” to match legacy expectations.

SetItemInfo extended to accept new UCAR settings of item (where applicable) thus allowing the changing of a set of UCAR setting of the item.

Delete can now delete multiple items in one call. The multiple items to delete are specified in multiple “path” input parameters.

PutFile now returns the autorenamed name in the case when it happens.

DiskUsage & DiskQuota documentation has be revised for better clarity.

GetDir inherited the changes for GetItemInfo and therefore, lock and lock_owner properties works as in GetItemInfo.
(The returned ucar property will be extended later to be the same as in GetItemInfo when the API output support JSON. Stay tuned.)

Updated documentation for PutFile with respect to autorename

14 June 2012
Bug fix to DropTo. The returned “error_items” parameter was incorrectly formed.
Input parameter “language” possible values changed for ease of understanding.
UTF8 encoding is expected for input parameters and output parameters where they can possible occur, e.g. filenames, msg_subject, addmsg in Chinese.

24 Mar 2004 (v 0.60)
Extended SetItemInfo and GetItemInfo to support getting and setting date, dategmt, mtime.
Extended GetDir to work for root paths and toplevel folder paths.
Updated the API descriptions.

05 Jan 2003 (v 0.55)
Added new API, Search (search.cgi) to find for files or folders whose name matches a certain pattern or whose description matches a certain pattern.

12 May 2001 (v 0.54)
Extended PutFile (put_file.cgi) to handle the data parameter to be submitted as in “file upload” style. This means the data is in a multipart/form-data section and POSTed to put_file.cgi. The section is similar to that generated by a client (browser) submitting a <INPUT TYPE=“file”> field. (See the PutFile API description for details.)

26 Apr 2001 (v 0.53)
Added new API, DropItemCount (drop_item_count.cgi) to get the number of drop items and number of newly dropped items in a user's dropbox.

22 Apr 2001 (v 0.52)
Extended “fields” parameter of GetItemInfo (get_item_info) to accept “checksum”, which cause it to return the MD5 checksum of the item, if it is a file. If the item is NOT a file, the API will just return null value in place of where a file checksum will appear without aborting the call. This is in contrast with GetChecksum (get_checksum.cgi) that will abort if the item is not a file. The “fields” parameter for GetDir (get_dir.cgi) is similarly extended.

22 Mar 2001 (v 0.51)
Extended “filter” parameter of GetDir (get_dir) to accept multiple patterns to filter filename listing. e.g. *.jpeg,*.jpg

28 Feb 2001 ( v0.50)
First beta release.
