Facebook's Platform Update on Publish Permission

Over the past few months, we've continued to make significant changes to Facebook to better protect your information. This has meant working closely with developers to make sure they can adapt their apps to our new, tighter rules, while also continuing to offer people useful social experiences, like playing games or sharing playlists with friends. In a blog post on April 24, we announced that the publish_actions permission — which grants apps access to publish posts to Facebook as the logged in user — would be deprecated by August 1. Roughly 60,000 apps will lose access to the publish_actions permission on August 1, and we encourage developers to switch to Facebook's Share dialogs for web, iOS and Android. However, this timing does not give some desktop apps and hardware partners enough time to make the switch as they have very long product lifecycles. Therefore, we've granted 6-month and 12-month extensions respectively to these categories of developers. These developers...

jQuery 3.3.1 – fixed dependencies in release tag

We encountered an issue in the release for jQuery 3.3.0, so we’ve immediately released another tag. The code itself is identical, but our release dependencies (only used during release) were added to the dependencies of the jQuery package itself due to the new behavior of npm in version 5+. jQuery 3.3.1 is now recommended if installing from npm or GitHub. If using jQuery on any CDN, the built file only differs in the version number. We apologize for any inconvenience and have updated our release script to account for this issue. Please see the jQuery 3.3.0 blog post for all relevant code changes in this release. Download You can get the files from the jQuery CDN, or link to them directly: https://code.jquery.com/jquery-3.3.1.js https://code.jquery.com/jquery-3.3.1.min.js You can also get this release from npm: npm install jquery@3.3.1 Slim build Sometimes you don’t need ajax, or you prefer to use one of the many standalone libraries that focus on ajax requests.
