Code sprint is always fun. It's gives you great opportunity to meet fellow civi folks, collaborate and implement kool stuff :). Last few days has been very interesting. Besides some great meals we also managed to get some work done. ( If you still don't know, food is the most important part of CiviCRM Sprints )

  First we shortlisted features / improvements that we want to accomplish during this sprint. Complete list is available at: http://wiki.civicrm.org/confluence/display/CRM/UI+specific+tasks   We started the sprint by converting getContactList(), function that is used in quicksearch into api v3. This will allow developers to build quicksearch like interface ( autocomplete ) on any civicrm forms using jquery or smarty. For eg: "Current Employer" field in profile can be converted into quicksearch autocomplete field using this api.

It was a great gathering of people from different backgrounds showing up for the meetup. By far this was one of the biggest meetups (30+ people) that I have attended. Nice to see the growth in the SF Bay Area civi community!

As announced earlier, the Location API has become obsolete in API version 3, which is currently shipped with the 4.0/3.4 alpha versions. It has been replaced by Address, Email, Phone and Website API in v3.

However, in the v2 Location API there was already a param 'version' which was used to determine if the older functionality of the Location API (CiviCRM version 2.2 and older) was used or the newer functionality (CiviCRM 3 and onwards). So the code looked like this:

Reason for removing v1 api's:
