My bot lib is using this new feature now. But it has never been released yet. It for my own use currently.

Speaking of file uploading, what's the status of uploading through the API? Are all the features at http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/API:Edit_-_Uploading_files available through Commons now? Does anyone know which bot libraries, if any, have been updated to use the new features?

Apologies if this has already been discussed.

Uploading through the API works. Some small strange things (like for example when the title blacklist extension kicks in), but nothing serious. Not sure what the status is of upload by url. Pywikipedia supports it. Already used it to upload several thousands of files to Commons. You can either run upload.py from the commandline or use it in another python program More info at http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Pywikipediabot/upload.py (bit outdated).
