Did the most recent release break authentication for clients using the API?
Since the release tonight, my time tracking client on Mac OS X that I use to post time entries into FA has stopped working. I use Timepost 2.6.4 (http://www.timepost2.com). This was working very recently, and there have been no recent updates to Timepost. I can authenticate fine with the actual web app itself.
Given that tonight's release included OpenID authentication, I wondered if that had any accidental knock-on effects on how clients authenticate with the API. Specifically, I'm being told by Timepost that my login information was rejected, despite it being correct (I've overwritten the credentials with the right ones again just to be sure, but that didn't change anything).
Any ideas? Thanks for a great product, and for consistently rolling out new stuff. Keep up the good work.

Inappropriate?Hi Elliott
Sorry you're having problems. The update shouldn't have broken anything, but we'll take a look this morning to track down what's going on for you. -
Inappropriate?Hi Elliot
I've figured this out now. In the current release we made a change to the API section to make each section clearer. As part of this we have added the ability to turn on or off API access.
It looks like your API access is disabled, so to enable just visit Settings > API and Feeds and click on Enable Access:
I’m confident

Inappropriate?Thanks Olly, that was it. I enabled the API access and now Timepost works again.
I’m happy

Inappropriate?Elliot, what client are you using to hit the API? Is it the ASIHTTPRequest class by any chance? I'm having problems hitting the API from an iPhone app and wondered if you might be using the same code.
I’m frustrated
