[Bugzilla-announce-list] Major Bugzilla Update: XMLRPC Changes

Hello,

The Red Hat Bugzilla team is planning to release an updated version of
Bugzilla on May 26th (tentative).

There are changes that will affect users of the XMLRPC interface. The
component, version and target release fields will become multi-value
fields. This means a bug will have one or more values for these fields
(currently they can only have one value for each field).

If you use the RPC interfaces, this change will affect the results you
send and receive to it. We'd appreciate if you could complete your
testing by Friday May 20th.

List of affected functions:
 * Bug.get
 * Bug.update
 * RedHat.getBugSimple

For example, in the Bug.get function, the XML for the target_release
field currently is:

<member><name>target_release</name><value><string>release_1</string></value></member>

the new XML will read:

<member><name>target_release</name><value><array><data><value><string>release_1</string></value><value><string>release_2</string></value></data></array></value></member>

Please test your scripts against our test server -
https://partner-bugzilla.redhat.com/.

If you have any questions regarding this change, please contact the Red
Hat Bugzilla team on bugzilla-owner at redhat.com

Thanks

The Red Hat Bugzilla Team
