The findHalfItems call now contains a sortBy input element that allows you to specify how you want to sort the items returned in the response.
The findHalfItems call now returns either a BestFixedPrice or BestRentalPrice element that lists the lowest price for which the item is listed for on the site.
The new item filter types ExcludeSeller, Seller, ShippingService, MaxPrice, and ListingType have been added to allow more flexibility in specifying the types of items you want returned in your responses.
This section describes logical or functional changes that have been made to existing functionality, including new code list values and/or changes in validation rules.
The product.item.price output element is no longer Always returned. If you have specified to return rentals items, the price is listed in the product.item.rentalPrice element only.
You can now provide more than a single itemFilter.value input element when sending a request, allowing you to broaden the range of items included in the results of a filtered request. For example, you can enter multiple seller Ids when you specify Seller as the search filter.
