The big news here is support for Facebook’s batch API, which lets you bundle a number of operations into one request from Facebook: me, friends = Koala::Facebook::GraphAPI.batch do @api.get_object(‘me’) @api.get_connections(‘me’, ‘friends’) end We’ve also added new convenience methods, improved others, and [...]
