Named multireddit objects now show additional fields: * description_md * description_html (read only) * display_name * key_color * icon_url (read only) * weighting_scheme * copied_from (read only, requires owner) The "visibility" field can now also be set to "hidden" via the API. Hidden multireddits will not be shown on a user's sidebar on reddit.com, but will still be visible to API consumers. The "copied_from" field shows the multi's owner which multireddit they copied from. A "weighting_scheme" of "fresh" will favor newer content, rather than forcing there to be at least 1 post from each subreddit. "classic" weighting will use the old format. Note: "fresh" weighting will be enabled in a future commit. "key_color" must be an RGB color of the form #AABBCC. API consumers can choose to set and make use of the key_color field for style purposes. "icon_url" may contain a URL to an icon for this multireddit. API consumers can choose to make use of this icon for style purposes. "display_name" is a human-friendly name for this multireddit. API consumers can choose to make use of this field to set/display friendlier names for this multireddit. Description fields are now included in the base multireddit object, and "description_md" can be updated directly on the multireddit object. The separate description endpoint is still available. All of the above fields can be modified via the existing endpoint, PUT /api/multi/<multipath>, except for fields marked read only. Due to the number of new fields and the absence of an existing PATCH endpoint for /api/multi/<multipath>, the existing PUT endpoint has been updated to NOT clobber fields that aren't included in the multi JSON, and to accept "partial" multireddit objects. This is to prevent fields from getting clobbered by clients that haven't been updated to send all the new data.
