HI,

I'm using XML webServices (v 1) and I've noticied that since few days we miss the field "score" in the search result (for sure in artist, maybe also in release don't know).

if you try:

http://musicbrainz.org/ws/1/artist/?type=xml&name=zucchero
you receive:

<metadata>
−
<artist-list offset="0" count="4">
−
<artist type="Person" id="00ed154e-8679-42f0-8f42-e59bd7e185af" ext:score="100">
<name>Zucchero</name>
<sort-name>Zucchero</sort-name>
<life-span begin="1955-09-24"/>
</artist>
−
<artist type="Group" id="7641f750-f610-4770-8186-abe3fd466b94" ext:score="50">
<name>Sting & Zucchero</name>
<sort-name>Sting & Zucchero</sort-name>
</artist>
−
<artist type="Unknown" id="df352e6f-2505-449a-892f-62353dfe64cf" ext:score="50">
<name>Pavarotti & Zucchero</name>
<sort-name>Pavarotti & Zucchero</sort-name>
</artist>
−
<artist type="Unknown" id="68f6da5b-b455-47da-b383-a7fefd165940" ext:score="37">
<name>Pavarotti, Sting, Zucchero, Lucio Dalla, Brian May</name>
<sort-name>Pavarotti, Sting, Zucchero, Lucio Dalla, Brian May</sort-name>
</artist>
</artist-list>
</metadata>

in the PERL and JAVA client, you completely miss the score path and ext:score is not a valid one.

I would like to know if WS v.1 are still supposed to completel operate as it was before andsince when, as I have to plan the conversion to v.2, but could not be done in a shot...

regards.
