Downloaded 7.x-1.x-dev (seemingly most recent) from drupal.org.

Placed module into /sites/all/modules.

Checked Blog API on Modules page

Ran cron and was informed:

The installed version of at least one of your modules or themes is no longer supported. Upgrading or disabling is strongly recommended. See the project homepage for more details. See the available updates page for more information and to install your missing updates.

Was informed:

Name: Blog API (Unsupported)
Installed Version: 7.x-1.x-dev
Recommended Version: 7.x-1.x-dev (Release notes)

Even though the installed and recommended appeared the same, as they Drupal seems to think they are something different, I checked and clicked "Download these updates".

Then I clicked "Continue".

The update process died with Drupal telling me "Ready to update: Authorize file system changes", but providing no opportunity to authorize or otherwise interact with drupal.

I would suggest checking out from CVS. It sounds like HEAD could have been broken or something. I can't reproduce it here.

Would you mind checking out Drupal 7 and Blog API from CVS and doing a fresh reinstall (Drop your database and re-create it)?

After struggling to figure out CVS and to get past a fatal error related to my settings.php, I finally have the new installation up and running.

Drupal 7 is no longer complaining about the Blog API, which curiously no longer reports its version number on the modules page.

Updated Drupal 7 to alpha2 (recommended version) and this problem did not return.

This is definitely a problem with Blog API, not with core.

I will be spending some time next weekend getting Blog API ready to go. In the meantime, it probably will not work correctly.
