That is still the case in terms of permissions: if the user who is requesting 
the XFB does not have permission to view the events (or the events are marked 
as personal) then no extra information will be included for the event.

Basically the changes that I added make it possible for freebusy.php to always 
generate XFB lists as a default, by setting $params['extended'] = true; in 
freebusy.conf. Granted, most sites would not want to do this, however I don't 
think it hurts to include the functionality for those that might want to use 
it.

In terms of the URL parameters, I changed the functionality so that if you 
specify x=0 then XFB generation is turned off (even if it is set to true in 
freebusy.conf). This allows overriding the parameters on a per-request basis 
(the cache parameter, c, also works this way). Previously if you specified 
x=(anything), XFB generating would be turned on. The new functionality 
essentially turns the parameter into a boolean variable, with 0 as false and 
anything else as true.

Anything else I can help explain?

Cheers,
Stuart
