*** SERVICES IS STILL IN DEV! ***
We are currently working to improve the security and permissions model within Services, and are keeping Services in "dev" until we're confident its stable and secure. If you have an interest in using Services, please submit bug reports, patches or suggestions so that we can push it towards a release.
Note: XMLRPC server support is included in this package. To enable AMF support for Flash and Flex, you must download and install the AMFPHP server module in addition to this module.
