TeamSpeak 3 Client 3.0.0-beta28 Available

[Peter]

Greetings,

today we released TeamSpeak 3 Client version 3.0.0-beta28. Version beta27 was skipped. As always there are many fixes and a few new features included. Due to a change in how some characters are escaped in text chat we recommend using server beta28 or higher with this client. One cool new addition is the client query plugin which behaves very similarly to the server query on server side and allows scripts and programs to query information about your TS3 Client and to issue commands. We hope this will allow 3rd party programms to integrate easily and provide cool features.

=== Client Release 3.0.0-beta28 - 08 Sep 2010
! The way certain text message characters are escaped was changed, servers
below beta28 will not be able to correctly display some text messages
! Plugin API version increased to 8
+ Added new plugin called ClientQuery which acts similar to the server query
functionality, but can only be accessed via localhost (Port 25639). It is
enabled by default and is useful to add TS3 related information into third
party applications
+ Added getServerConnectInfo, getChannelConnectInfo, getChannelVariableAsUint64
and setChannelVariableAsUInt64 functions for plugins, see the test plugin as
example how to use them.
+ Added ts3plugin_requestAutoload to plugins API to let plugins request to be
automatically loaded on client start, unless the user has manually disabled
the plugin.
+ Added "Copy Nickname to clipboard" context menu to "List All Clients" dialog
+ When editing ban entries of another users fail, a messagebox shows that a
modified copy will be inserted instead
+ Rewrote the updater it now also has a banner as an appreciation to the
companies that provide bandwidth and servers
* Some minor offline message text-tweaks which makes it more email alike
* Added an improvement to highlight a bookmark item, if nickname has an
invalid length
* More improvements of server groups priority in 3D setup when a client has
multiple server groups (particularly add and delete)
* Improved priority of server groups in 3D setup
* Plugin dialog now displays all plugins which failed to load including an
error message.

precedence.

Related to the Client Plugin API, I get an error with beta 28:

anyID* channelClientList;
if(ts3Functions.getChannelClientList(serverConnectionHandlerID, currentChannelID, &channelClientList) != ERROR_ok)
{
	ts3Functions.logMessage("Error querying channel client list", LogLevel_ERROR, "Plugin", serverConnectionHandlerID);
	break;
}

I get the error message in client log:

SCHandler Warning Invalid create channel, did you edit it first?
Plugin Error Error querying channel client list

Of course the second line is the output from my plugin.

The same code works great in all previous versions. Did I something wrong?
