|
| 07/23/2021 | 7874 | General | Changed
- Updated the Literal Function Names for relative date/datetime functions. Previously, relative date/datetime functions resolved to a different value when used in the projection as opposed to the predicate. For example: SELECT LAST_MONTH() AS lm, Col FROM Table WHERE Col > LAST_MONTH(). Formerly, the two LAST_MONTH() methods would resolve to different datetimes. Now, they will match.
- As a replacement for the previous behavior, the relative date/datetime functions in the criteria may have an 'L' appended to them. For example: WHERE col > L_LAST_MONTH(). This will continue to resolve to the same values that were previously calculated in the criteria. Note that the "L_" prefix will only work in the predicate - it not available for the projection.

- Facebook has removed access from apps to return comment ids when the user does not also have permissions to moderate the comments. This may mean in some cases comments will stop returning with our driver when they were working previously.
- The user_likes and user_posts permissions (no longer used by default with the embedded driver) now have much more difficult requirements to access them from Facebook.
- Nearly all unique page type columns for the Pages table were deprecated by Facebook. For example, Parking columns, GeneralInfo, Attire, Restaurant Services columns, Awards, etc. These will all start returning null as Facebook transitions to the New Page Experience. These columns will be removed in the 2022 release of the driver.
|
| 05/21/2021 | 7811 | Excel | Added

The more relevant impact is that as of API version 10.0, apps may only retrieve up to 37 months prior data. In the past, older insight data was available.
|
| 03/19/2021 | 7748 | Facebook Ads | Deprecated
