Alex,
FB published new rules and changes that they are about to publish.

One of the changes that worries me is:
End of custom actions for content consumption
We will no longer show Custom Open Graph actions that were published simply by a user consuming content. If you own one of these actions and it was previously approved, you will have received an email from us. Developers should stop publishing these actions as doing so will return an error starting February 6th. The only actions that can be published upon a user simply consuming content are built-in actions.

More information in the following link:
developers.facebook.com/roadmap/#february-2013

Does this mean that the new read action feature in JFBConnect will no longer be supported??

Thanks,
Amir.

No worries, no worries! The key line is:

The only actions that can be published upon a user simply consuming content are built-in actions.

The main things to note are that built-in actions (news.reads and others) are still able to be automated. So, you can't create your own "eat" action and have it automatically trigger when a user reads a recipe. You can still have the recipe post to the users Timeline when they read it. You can also have a button on the recipe the user can click to say "I ate this recipe", but it has to be something the user 'does' instead of simply 'views'.

Finally, if you go into Autotune and go to the FB App section and hit "Refresh", the new migration settings through April will appear. Simply hit "Update Application" for JFBConnect to set them all correctly for you. Of course, you can edit your application manually in the developers area as well.

Hope that all explains,
Alex
