We launched a small but important update to the test and gallery submission pages. The author element in the config.xml file needs now to contain an email attribute. The email attribute is required (so that Yahoo! can contact you even you are not using Yahoo! as your standard mail provider), but is not available to the public and will not be published in the Widget Gallery.

A sample author element looks now like this:

<author organization=”MyCompany” href=”http://www.mycompany.com” email=”john@mycompany.com”>John Doe</author>

The organization and the href attributes are optional; email is now a requirement.

Please make sure to include this new attribute from now on in your config.xml for testing your widget and the final submission to the widget gallery.

You can also download a new version of the SDK package that contains updated documentation and updated samples, templates as well an updated schema.
