Version 3.0.1

• Updated the README in the download package, it said 'setup.php' while it should be 'config.php'.
• Removed the responsefield 'displayname' in the examples since it's no longer supported in the new API version and returns an error when using it.
• Changed line 1707 in HA.php. This is the error check that failed in some situations. It checked if the method returned was equal to "error". Because Hyves is not consistent returning the "error" method when an error occured it now just looks if an error code is set in the response.

• Hyves said to me that they will recommend this library officially in the near future
• I tried making a screencast but I was not satisfied. It's simply not my cup of tea. I talked to Hyves about using screencasts for examples on their developers area and they took it into consideration.

About the library

I'm working with the Hyves API since the beginning and I have released several versions of my library since then. The past year (2008) I have done some projects with Open & Sociaal using the previous library. I discovered that it was far from perfect. Therefor a new and improved version, truely ready for production.
