Platform Update: Event API Calls Improved, Publishing Video, Receiving Documentation Updates

It also announced that domains no longer need to be on a whitelist in order to publish video to the news feed, and explained how developers can now use the Like button to receive updates about documentation changes.

Currently, when developers query the event_member FQL table via the Graph API, all of a user’s Facebook Events are returned, taxing the API and causing apps that require this type of data to run slowly.
