When list=allusers is used with auactiveusers, a property 'recenteditcount'
is returned in the result. In bug 67301[1] it was pointed out that this
property is including various other logged actions, and so should really be
named something like "recentactions".
Gerrit change 130093,[2] merged today, adds the "recentactions" result
property. "recenteditcount" is also returned for backwards compatability,
but will be removed at some point during the MediaWiki 1.25 development
cycle.
Any clients using this property should be updated to use the new property
name. The new property will be available on WMF wikis with 1.24wmf12, see
https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/MediaWiki_1.24/Roadmap for the schedule.

Per the RfC a while back,[1] we've now removed the wddx and dump output
formats from the API. This is expected to be a very low-impact change, as
logs don't show anyone actually using these anymore.
This change should be deployed to WMF wikis with 1.26wmf13, see
https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/MediaWiki_1.26/Roadmap for the schedule.
Note that the yaml, txt, and dbg output formats are scheduled for removal
in November 2015. Users using yaml should be able to easily change to json
as it's entirely identical.

With the merge of Gerrit change 216048,[1] the 'generatexml' parameter to
action=parse, action=query&prop=revisions, and
action=query&prop=deletedrevisions is deprecated in favor of a new
'parsetree' prop.
This should be deployed to WMF wikis with 1.26wmf13, see
https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/MediaWiki_1.26/Roadmap for the schedule.
