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.

Bug T38358[1] points out that using a '#' character in input passed to
ApiQueryBase::titlePartToKey() will silently truncate at the character
before the '#', often generating incorrect results.
With the merge of Gerrit change 191889,[2] passing a '#' into this method
will now return an invalidtitle error, just as already happens when a
title-part containing invalid characters such as '<' or '>' is passed in.
The affected parameters include:
* list=allpages apto, apfrom, and apprefix
* list=alldeletedrevisions adrto, adrfrom, and adrprefix
* list=deletedrevs drto, drfrom, and drprefix
* list=filearchive fato, fafrom, and faprefix
* list=allimages aito, aifrom, and aiprefix
* list=alllinks alto, alfrom, and alprefix
* list=alltransclusions atto, atfrom, and atprefix
* list=allfileusages afto, affrom, and afprefix
* list=allredirects arto, arfrom, and arprefix
* list=allcategories acto, acfrom, and acprefix
This should be deployed to WMF wikis with 1.25wmf19, see
https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/MediaWiki_1.25/Roadmap for the schedule.

It was pointed out in T88397[1] that a list=search query was populating the
'redirecttitle' output property as an object containing the internal
members of a MediaWiki Title object, where a string containing the prefixed
title is more likely what was intended.
Any clients relying on this output property should be updated to deal with
the corrected value.
This will be deployed to WMF wikis with 1.25wmf16, see
https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/MediaWiki_1.25/Roadmap for the schedule.
