P: LR 4.1 RC, Flickr publishing broken

With LR 4.1 RC, the Flickr publisher seems to be broken. I added 2 new photos to a collection today after updating to the 4.1 RC, and tried to publish, but I get an error message: "Can't update this collection. An internal error has occurred: Invalid at the top level of the document."

Publishing the same collection (without the 2 new images) worked fine yesterday in 4.0 before the RC update. Closing and re-starting LR did not solve the issue. Running Vista x64 SP2 with all updates and 64-bit LR installed.

It fixed the problem on my system. Go into Flickr and revoke the authorization for LR. When you restart lr and publish it should ask you to authentiate in Flicker again.

Sincere apologies - it does work. Didn't realise I had to re-authorise! Doh!

No it hasn't been fixed: I just downloaded LR4.1 RC2, and I still get 'Flickr authentication failed'.

When 4.1 is officially released, you will get a notice when you run Lightroom.

How do we get informed about new releases?

I happen to be at this email-list about LR4.1RC and that is how I got informed.

Is there any other way, do you email owners of LR when there is a new version? I'm scared that I might once miss the boat when I'm out of the office...actually working.

Thanks for fixing Flickr uploads.

Dont delete the non-working service. It may end up working in the final release. just create the new one until a final update is released.
