Facebook Promise to Give Developers 90 days For Major API Changes

Facebook API has been largely criticised for frequently making breaking changes.

As such, they have introduced their 90-days policy.

We are committed to a 90-day breaking change policy. This means Platform changes that would require a code change from developers (security and privacy changes excluded) will be announced at least 90 days before the change goes into effect.

To clarify, there are 4 points to take note of:

1. Major change/removal of functionality: You have 90 days to comply
2. Backwards compatible change: Your code should be versatile to new parameters in request/response
3. Product Change: You will be inform ed.
4. Privacy/Security Changes: Fix like these will be immediate, even if it is breaking change
