Python
- Added support for OAuth as an authentication mechanism. This will allow developers to access the API without requiring a username and password. See the new code example for more information on how to integrate OAuth with your application.
- Additionally, a number of issues were fixed: 115, 142, 144, and 145.
Perl
- Fixed some bugs that prevented usage of multiple Client objects.
- Full XPath support was added; XPath queries can now be done through the entire tree of results.
- OAuth support was also added.
Ruby
- Improved support for UTF reports in download extensions.
- New logger interface.
- Updates have been made to the code examples.
PHP
- Updated OAuth support to allow for alternative OAuth libraries, including the bundled Andy Smith library.
- The logging functionality has been updated to support filtering for levels. The default logging behavior has been changed to only log SOAP XML if an error occurs.
- New methods were added to AdWordsUser for additional logging configuration. The AdWords Get*Service() methods were replaced with a single GetService() method. Backwards compatibility was maintained using __call(). All examples and tests were updated to use the new method.
- Additionally, 2 issues were fixed: 55 and 59.
