Get latest changes on files or folders:
=======================================

Currently one has to walk thru the complete tree of a folder to find out
the latest changes. To speed things up and to relax the traffic on
your servers and newer devices I would suggest several optimizations
to your API:

--------------------------------------------------------------------

1.) Add an API call to find out the latest modificationDate within
a folder tree:

http://api.wuala.com/lastModificationDate/<account>/<folder>/[?key=]

This call would return a document, as usual, that does contain the
highest unix timestamp in this folder tree.

--------------------------------------------------------------------

2.) Add an additional parameter to several API calls to get the latest
items after a given modificationDate. In my samples "lm" stands
for a unix time you're using in your APIs:

---

http://api.wuala.com/publicFiles/<account>/<folder>/[?][key=][il=][ff=][lm=]

This call would return all public files within that folder that have a
modificationDate higher than the given lm= parameter.

---

http://api.wuala.com/publicFolders/<account>/<folder>/[?][key=][il=][ff=][lm=]

This call would return all public folders within that folder that have a
modificationDate higher than the given lm= parameter.

---

http://api.wuala.com/breadcrumb/<account>/<folder>/[?][key=][il=][ff=][lm=]

This call would return all path elements within that folder that have a
modificationDate higher than the given lm= parameter.
