• String builder, Item builder and URL builder modules now have a max of 40 item per module, increased from 10.
• In the Pipes Editor, in folders “My Pipes” and “Favorites”, the sort order is now based on last modified Pipe.

• Date Formatter Module can use Java SimpleDateFormat Patterns (http://y.ahoo.it/qSAA+)
• SubPipe using default text bug fixed. (http://y.ahoo.it/8O7kH)
• Some atom feeds not getting y:published emitted – fixed (note: if building own data (item builder, fetch data) and you want y:published emitted – run data through the “Create RSS” Module or “RSS Item Builder” module. y:published is needed to emit a valid RSS pubDate element in final Pipes RSS output)

This means creating new pipes or editing existing Pipes will not work. But existing Pipes will still run and produce output as normal.

You can access you Pipe output by entering:

http://pipes.yahoo.com/pipes/pipe.run?_id=<yourpipeid>& _render=rss/json/kml…etc.

e.g. http://pipes.yahoo.com/pipes/pipe.run?_id=ZKJobpaj3BGZOew9G8evXg&_render=json

• http://l.yimg.com/a/i/us/pps/listbadge_1.5.js
• http://l.yimg.com/a/i/us/pps/mapbadge_1.4.js

If you are using any of those versions, please update them to be one of these instead:

• http://l.yimg.com/a/i/us/pps/imagebadge_1.5.js
• http://l.yimg.com/a/i/us/pps/listbadge_1.6.js
• http://l.yimg.com/a/i/us/pps/mapbadge_1.5.js

We fixed the pipe.info page, so you should be getting proper badge code snippets moving forward.

With the next release(TBD) we will require any Pipe that uses the Flickr Module to use an API key. You can obtain the Flickr API key here: http://www.flickr.com/services/apps/create/apply/. It’s easy to get a key and please get it ready for when this change happens. You can also use the Private String Module to make sure your API key is not viewable to the public as described in the screenshot below.

We recently integrated webplayer.yahoo.com into the pipe.info pages when viewing the “List” view.

A few weeks ago we rolled back the V2 release. Today all Pipes are now running on the V2 engine!

Yesterday we migrated all Pipes to the V2 engine. We experienced some minor delays in the completion of the full migration.

We expect to migrate all Pipes to the V2 engine sometime over the next week or two. V1 Pipes will still run as V1 for the time being. Please take this opportunity to further test your V1 Pipes as V2 by appending &_v2=true to any V1 Pipe URL.

Thanks! -Pipes Team

It’s been a little over a year since we first announced the V2 engine. After many months of work and help from the Pipes developer community, all Pipes now are running off our new V2 engine! Special thanks to hapdaniel and libra_sun for reporting issues and making V2 a better engine.

We also improved several things with our Date Modules.

In the Date Formatter:

- Added new format token: “%K”, produces RFC 822 compliant date (shortcut for “%a’,’ %d %b %G %H’:'%M’:'%S ‘GMT’”)

- Added new Timezone input field – which allows you to specify a target time zone. This must be one of the time zone IDs supported by the Java platform, or a custom time zone ID using the format defined in http://download.oracle.com/javase/6/docs/api/java/util/TimeZone.html

In the Date Builder:

- Added new output fields: day_name, day_ordinal_suffix, and month_name

We are continually updating the V2 engine and will be adding new features. If your (previous) V1 Pipes still do not work, please report the issue and include your Pipe ID in your post. Community members and staff will look at the issue. Please also read about the new V2 limits.
