category & excludecategory arguments to get_posts() non-functional

[iioshius]

get_posts() is an extremely handy function, but the 'category' argument hasn't been implemented yet. Also, an additional 'excludecategory' argument would make the function even more useful (for example, in excluding linklog entries from the main entry list or from a 'recent posts' list).

In retrospect, this might now have been the best place to post this. Please feel free to delete this report if that's the case.

curious as to why this hasn't been copied into the wp source. it seems as if it's functional.

added a patch that makes the 'category' parameter of get_posts work correctly.
