With the launch of the Top-rated Sellers program, buyers can find items listed by the highest quality sellers on eBay based on the feedback of other buyers. The sellerInfo node in the search results (searchResult.item.sellerInfo) for the "findItems" calls now includes the topRatedSeller field to indicate (true or false) whether the seller of an item qualifies as an eBay Top-rated Seller. Additionally, a new TopRatedSellerOnly item filter has been added to limit search results to items listed by Top-rated Sellers only.
Note the following site restrictions:
Top-rated sellers consistently receive highest buyers' ratings, ship items quickly, and have earned a track record of excellent service. eBay regularly reviews the performance of these sellers to confirm they continue to meet the program's requirements. See the Top-rated Sellers page on the eBay site for more information.

The documentation has been updated to indicate the conditions for which aspect histograms are returned. Aspect histograms are returned only for categories that have been mapped to domains. In most cases, just leaf categories are mapped to domains, but there are exceptions. So, if you provide a parent category as input to getHistograms or you restrict a finding call search to a parent category, you may not get an aspect histogram in the response.
The documentation has been updated to reflect the following conditions for when category histograms are returned:
The description for productId in the search results has been updated to correct inaccuracies.
Several call samples have been updated for accuracy and typographic errors.
