FYI : venue search will be broken Nov 7th

[roomnoise]

Foursquare will be using the latest API version by default starting Nov 7th.

http://groups.google.com/group/foursquare-api/browse_thread/thread/3862de3d953c5574

This means the venue search (which pulls by 'group') won't work anymore.

has anyone found a workaround for this issue? Can we just v=YYYMMDD somewhere in our .search query?

Please note, my commit is a fast hack to work around this issue, and not an ideal solution.

Is this the same issue? I guess I'll use httpparty. Foursquare::Base.new(ENV['FOURSQUARE_API_KEY'], ENV['FOURSQUARE_API_SECRET']).venues.search(:ll => "51.521036, -0.070496")
Foursquare::Error: A required parameter was missing or a parameter was malformed. This is also used if the resource ID in the path is incorrect.
