Just a quick question to make sure i’m on track –
I’ve started supporting a ready FB app.
Yesterday the client reported an issue with a part of the app which uses the fb JS SDK notification plugin.
In the callback the code refers to (this is only the callback of the entire FB.io):

}, function(res) {
                if(typeof(res)!='undefined' && res != null){ // if user invited friends
                        var ids = res.request_ids.toString();

but when I console.log the res object, there is no res.request_ids – onlt res.request and res.to (which contains the IDs).

Can it be that Facebook changed the response object? I could find the official docs which say that i’m correct about the object – there are ‘request’ and ‘to’ properties, no request_ids – but why would it work till now? was there a change in the response object? is there a place where these changes are published in advance in order to prevent downtime?
Thanks…
