Are Facebook’s “fixes” actually breaking your application? If they are, you no longer need to deal with the pain of implementing new code changes the minute Facebook rolls out a change. Today Facebook announced a Migrations tool which gives “developers control over when to integrate new Platform features or bug fixes.” It’s a simple tool but for many developers it will help prevent applications from breaking.
As is the case with most application specific platform features, you can access the migrations tool for each application within the developer application. This way developers have more control over when changes are rolled out. Facebook has also made the disclaimer that not all platform changes will show up in this migrations tool, “only those that require significant code changes”.
My guess is that any changes that Facebook is preparing to roll out will also include a note about whether or not they are included in the migrations area. This is a great solution that should hopefully result in a little more sleep for the developers that are getting emails about their applications randomly breaking.

This website explains the long standing technical problem hundreds of people are having with Cafe World.
If this is any example of this new technical angle you have, it's not working.
Nobody will address the problem we are having.
We get stupid answers, the bottom line of all of them that is it somehow our fault.
They say that an agent is working with me, NOBODY is working with me.
A bunch of no-faces with fake names answer our calls for technical help.
This is day 12 for me where the gift box isn't operating.
Please visit the site above, and it will explain the problem.
I even have a screen shot of the problem, also sent one to non-existent tech team, which of course never even looked at it because they are NOT tech people at all.
PLEASE have someone help us with this problem.
We spend everyday trying to find people to contact who has any authority at all to make technicians fix bugs in YOUR games.
12 days of aggravation for me so far.
It bothers me when people 'use' other people to make money off of them and then treat them like you do.
It's a real shame, but this lack of support on all your games will eventually be knows and it WILL effect your numbers.
