Imminent change of albumIds from 64-bit integers to 50-character strings

[GoogleCodeExporter]

http://forum.developers.facebook.com/viewtopic.php?id=31736 contains a 
reminder of a post from January:
  the format for album ids and photo ids will be changing from 64-bit 
  integers to strings (max: 50 characters). Note that all existing ids will 
  be backwards compatible.
& adds that these changes will occur on 10 April.

The schema was updated accordingly in r668, but the 
ExtensibleClient.photo_* methods still take Longs for photoId & albumId.

This will prevent use of these methods with new-format ids (whenever we 
start seeing them).

Hi, 

I have made the changes and here is the patch. Can you review it and apply it 
eventually?

Any more Progress on this?

I really need photo uploads.
For the time being can I checkout the svn
Copy it,
Then apply the patch,
Then make a jar file,

Don't use SVN much so i'll try it now

I would think this should be higher than medium priority as this functionality 
is
completely broken for certain users.
