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.

It was noticed[1] that the error messages for "missing parameter" errors
were not including the module prefix, for example a query to
action=query&list=search could complain that the "search" parameter must be
set when the actual parameter name is "srsearch". This extends to the error
code, which in this example is "nosearch" rather than "nosrsearch".
This is now fixed, and should be deployed to Wikimedia sites with MediaWiki
1.32.0-wmf.15 and later. See
https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/MediaWiki_1.32/Roadmap for a schedule.
If your client is checking for specific missing parameter error codes, it
may need to be updated for the changed codes.
