Hi,
Yesterday, a user reported having problem with my tool, WPCleaner, getting
error messages "assertuserfailed - Assertion that the user is logged in
failed" when trying to save pages.
I also got them a few minutes ago, restarted the tool, and the problem was
gone.
Has there been any modification on the API or MW that can explain this error
message ?
Yes, the handling of assert= in MediaWiki had changed a while back.

was the announcement that was sent out and explains what changed.
