"body": "<div class=\"post\">This is in SVN rev 147.<br/><br/>This is more standard, and although json-rpc 1.0 didn't specify the format of error objects, it did specify that they would be <i>objects</i> not strings or other values, so we needed to change this to be correct. The code/message members have become standard in later json-rpc specs.<br/><br/>If you have code that checks the error and expects a string, you'll need to change it. When there is an error, the error member is now an object not a string.<br/><br/>Also in SVN rev 147:<br/>- The command line json-rpc returns the error code as its exit code. Exit codes can only be 0-255 on unix, so it's abs(code)%256.<br/>- The \"backupwallet <destination>\" command that was discussed in another thread. It locks the wallet and copies it, so you can be sure you get a correct copy.<br/></div>"
