New Features
| Feature | Description |
|---|---|
| New HIT Status Detail page option | Workers' HIT Status Detail page will now reflect HIT payment status. We display the following HIT statuses: Pending approval, Rejected, Approved - pending payment, and Paid. |
| Payment to Workers via Amazon Payments | To better serve US based workers, payment for completed HITs will now be deposited into an Amazon Payments Personal account. An Amazon Payments account allows Workers to receive payment to your bank account or gift certificate and make secure purchases online. Once you register with Amazon Payments, your current balance will be transferred automatically. |
Known Issues
| Issue | Description |
|---|---|
| Fixed: Cannot use the latest WSDL with the Developer Sandbox | The 2008-02-14 WSDL can now be used against the Developer Sandbox. |
| Cannot disable retry delay for a Qualification type once enabled. | There is currently no way to disable the ability to re-request a Qualification if the Qualification type allows retries. A previous release introduced the ability to add a retry delay to a type that doesn't have one, or modify the delay if it does. Once a type has a retry delay, then retries are permanently enabled for the type. |
| Cannot remove a test from a Qualification type. | There is currently no way to remove a Qualification test from a Qualification type that has one. A previous release introduced the ability to configure a Qualification type to automatically approve Qualification requests instead of using a Qualification test. Because tests cannot be removed from an existing type, a Qualification type with a test cannot be re-configured to use the auto-approval feature. |
| SearchHITs can include duplicate HITs in results. | The SearchHITs API may return a HIT more than once in the results if there are more than 100 active HITs created by the caller when using a sort property other than Enumeration. |
