XML API Enhancements
This page is used to track the current set of enhancements that have been requested for the BGG_XML_API and/or the BGG_XML_API2. It is mostly a public working list so others may see what has already been requested. Completed items will be removed from this list.
Note: These are in no particular priority order, and tend to be worked on as inspiration and need demands. List numbers are unreliable and will change over time.
