Just for you flash developers: ActionScript 3.0 Client Library
Jean Nawratil was kind enough to publish his ActionScript 3.0 wrapper for the face.com API.
So now, it is easier than ever to develop cool flash applications using the face.com API.Check out our download page, for the link and more libraries.
Jean also wrote a small tutorial on his blog at http://www.meta-for.net (English translation: here)

New Client Libraries for Python and C# developers
When we launched the API, about 2 month ago, we provided 2 client libraries for easier development above the REST API.
We now added links for 2 more libraries in our download page, contributed by developers, who have done great work wrapping the API in Python and C#.
A Python library was created by Tomaž Muraus. 
A C# library was created by Daren Willman.
If you guys have your own libraries in other languages, you're welcome to share them with the community. -
Improved usage flow of faces.train
As part of our continuous effort to improve API performance and flow, we are pushing a small change in the faces.train API method.
Faces.train is a potentially long operation. When used with long uids list, or with friends@facebook keyword, it may create a work queue of thousands of photos.
There is no point waiting for that kind of workload with synchronous method call. Most of our developers, are already using training their uids with asynchronous callback_url call.So, we decided that faces.train for more than one UID, will only be available via asynchronous call - when the callback_url is provided.
When used with more than one UID, a callback_url must be provided (if not, a SYNCHRONOUS_REQUEST_TOO_BIG will be returned).
Calling the method with single UID is allowed also without a callback_url.The callback_url communication is also slightly changed:
Instead of POSTing the entire result of all UIDS to the callback_url one all of them is completed, we will POST partial response to the callback_url, for each UID that his training is complete.We believe those changes will improve the training flow, and will scale better when developers will use it for more and more uids.
For more information, check our http://developers.face.com/docs/api/faces-train/.
