Hi DeltaQuad,
as the one who implemented the fix I can tell that this will only affect
extension logs using the new format. So this wont affect the block and
pagemove logs.
To give you an example of what changed:
A broken action=query&list=recentchanges log entry:
<rc type="log" ns="2" title="User:Nikolaepa78" ...
logtype="renameuser"
logaction="renameuser" 4::olduser="Nikolaepa78"
5::newuser="Rgsseht"
6::edits="2" />
As you can see we have attributes with strange names like 4::olduser.
The patch fixed that behavior so that the API will return just olduser
for the example above. As this wasn't broken for any core logs this will
only affect extension logs (like renameuser).
Cheers,
Marius Hoch (hoo)

Hello,
I currently don't specify prop=details with my bots (a few use this
feature), but on the API docs it's listed as default. Can you give us
a sample of how the new one is going to look? Also does it only change
for block and pagemove logs? or is it more than that.

Due to bug 43221 and Gerrit change I1a3c7ac6, the format of
the
"details" for some log events will be changing. In particular,
any
event with details that were returned with a key resembling
"4::foo"
will now be returned under a key of simply "foo".
This change will be deployed with 1.21wmf7, which is scheduled
for
today on
mediawiki.org,
test.wikipedia.org, and wikidata; 7
January
for non-Wikipedia sites; 9 January for enwiki; and 14 January
for the
other Wikipedias.
