    For follow-up...

    Quoted: We are currently aware of a bug where if you use feed_publishUserAction(), you will still only get the one-line story published regardless of user preference. We are currently working on a fix.

    New Design User Login - Facebook Developers Wiki

    This page explains the changes to infinite sessions pretty well. It also mentions when everyone will get the new Facebook UI.

    Quoted: Q: I thought you were deprecating infinite sessions?
    ...
    A: We are deprecating infinite session keys after the new profile launches to all users August 27, 2008. However, if a user previously granted an "infinite session" (what we're now calling "offline access"), then that user will be considered to have granted your application offline access and your sessions will continue to act as they did on the old profile.

    Extended permissions - Facebook Developers Wiki

    Quoted: Facebook offers some API functionality which requires specific opt in from the user. These methods are specific to certain use cases and require a greater level of trust from the user. They therefore employ a secondary opt-in flow, and the user may only opt in to one such permission on a single page view.
    ...
    This permission grants an application access to user data when the user is offline or doesn't have an active session. This permission can be obtained only through the fb:prompt-permission tag or the promptpermission attribute.

    Fb:redirect - Facebook Developers Wiki

    Ha. When returing FBML pages from your facebook app, you can't redirect to a new page using a standard 302 response. Why? I don't know. Facebook will however parse the FBML for a fb:redirect tag and request that.

    Quoted: Redirects a user's browser to a new URL within the Facebook canvas.
    ...
    <fb:redirect url="http://apps.facebook.com/myapp/?not_in_group" />

    The State of the Facebook Platform | 20bits

    Quoted: Correlation is not causation, of course, so we can't say whether the decline in developer activity means less application activity, if developers are leaving because applications are no longer as successful as they used to be, or whether there is an unknown factor causing both of these phenomena.
    ...
    What we can say is that the vitality of both the Facebook developer community and the Facebook platform is not what it was even four months ago, and that these two phenomena are closely related.
