Current Hoptoad API is being deprecated

[taazza]

Deprecation warning!

You are currently using a Hoptoad Notifier which uses a deprecated Hoptoad API.
This API will be shut down on February 1, 2010, and projects still using the
old API after that date will no longer receive error notifications.

Please upgrade to the new notifier:
http://github.com/thoughtbot/hoptoad_notifier

Any plans of upgrading to the new one?

Howdy,

Just to chime in, yes, this notifier is using the V1 Notifier API, which is deprecated, and will be shut down on February 1, 2010. For anyone currently using this notifier, it will stop working after the V1 Notifier API is taken down, and users will no longer receive error notifications.

V1 Notifier API documentation: http://help.hoptoadapp.com/faqs/api-2/notifier-api-v2
V2 Notifier API documentation: http://help.hoptoadapp.com/faqs/api-2/notifier-api-v1

Thoughbotter Mike Burns recently wrote an article about writing a V2 Notifier API client, with a Python example:
