v2.11 Change Notes - 29/06/06

We have implemented a general policy to the way in which the SMS API provides the result to Client-API routines to ensure that every instance is unique. This is to help the parsing of our results using simple regular expressions.

This change has already effected the Check_Destination & Check_Balance routines and will influence the way in which results are given in the future.

The result of Check_Balance may have looked like this:

<result>
<balance>GBP|5555.5</balance>
<balance>USD|4444.4</balance>
</result>

But it would now look like this:

<result>
<GBP>5555.5</GBP>
<USD>4444.4</USD>
</result>

Similarly, the result of Check_Destination may have looked like this:

<result>
<country>United Kingdom</country>
<route>GD01|5.0|GBP</route>
<route>GD02|4.4|GBP</route>
</result>

But it would now look like this:

<result>
<country>United Kingdom</country>
<GD01>5.0|GBP</GD01>
<GD02>4.4|GBP</GD02>
</result>
