We’re planning to release a lot of improvements to our services on the 5th of September.

Cool stuff coming will include the ability to message email and sip endpoints, improved delivery status, annoucements and more termination information for voice calls and conference calls, and lots more…

We’re also going to be deprecating some of our services. We’re committed to delivering the very best services, but there’s only so many of us. If something’s not being used, then it tends to get the chop… From September, we’ll no longer be pushing forward with Contacts and Information About Me. We’re still support them, though.

One we’re really sad about is Location. Unfortunately, we couldn’t offer the coverage we wanted to because of the very real privacy concerns mobile phone suppliers had. Location is going to be deprecated as it is, but should be coming back soon in a greater and better form! Expect a lot of breaking change!

Oh, and as previously mentioned before, Presence will be no more… (:-(

If you’re using an older version of one of our services, please start migrating to a new version – use the latest versions of the SDK (version 3.0). A new SDK to support all this good stuff will also be released on the 4th September.

But there’s lot of cool new stuff, and even more in the SkunkWorks to come! (:-)
