Just fixed a few bugs inside the XML-RPC encoder. Apparently, I saw code inside the XML-RPC library itself where NSNumbers were forced or typecasted as NSStrings which is a big no-no. Changed the casting part to [nsnumberinstance description]. Still wondering why it worked before.

Anyway, the XML-RPC library is really old. Didn’t change the library, though. Just tweaked it a bit.

As for the moment, I’ve already uploaded version 1.2.1 beta. Once I’m assured that things are OK will I only remove the beta mark.

I’m open for suggestions for Photon version 2. Please leave your comments below. One of my plans for version 2 is the grid-style thumbnail gallery I mentioned before. One MovableType user requested this, and I really think it’s neat.

As for the current version, please start testing. If it seems to not work, please make sure that:

1. The “Entry Creation” tab inside the blog settings pane has entries in it. If none, then click the “+” button below the blog listing, and remove the just-created item using the “-” button.

2. “Categories” dropdown inside the Weblog tab, of the Export pane, is not stuck to “Retrieving…”. If it’s stuck to that or crashes, please send me the crash reports.

That’s all folks!
