Changelog for breaking changes

Removed on June 15th:

  • gravatar_url is being deprecated in favor of avatar_url for all responses that include users or orgs. A default size is no longer included in the url.
  • Creating new gists (both anonymously and with an authenticated user) should use POST /gists from now on. POST /users/:user/gists is no longer supported.

Removed on June 1st:

  • Removed support for PUT verb on update requests. Use POST or PATCH instead.
  • Removed .json extension from all URLs.
  • No longer using the X-Next or X-Last headers. Pagination info is returned in the Link header instead.

  • Starring gists now uses PUT verb (instead of POST) and returns 204.
