I have the exactly same problem as marc; with the latest release xmlrpc.php is pretty much useless to me, having to log in as admin to use getRecentPosts is no option.
I also don′t like the idea of downgrading xmlrpc.php to the 2.3.1 version as obviously some changes were made with a reason. I′d welcome it if a future version would again allow to getRecentPosts in subscriber role (but then it would just not return private posts and drafts), please let me know if that is intended because as it is with 2.3.2 i can′t support wordpress with my blogging software.
