Recently there was a huge change in the API documentation at /w/api.php
I found a notice here: https://lists.wikimedia.org/pipermail/mediawiki-api-announce/2014-October/00...
Should this perhaps go into the tech newsletter (I couldn't find it in the last five)?

I'm not sure it's of much interest to many people reading this list – especially as the i18n progress for the APIs is still so early that they aren't going to be as well translated as users should expect. Perhaps we could do it as a "by the way" note?

It should be mentioned in one sentence in the newsletter, even if it has little influence on most readers and editors. It does have rather major influence on translators, however. בתאריך 3 בנוב 2014 21:07, "James Forrester" jforrester@wikimedia.org כתב:

To close the loop on this: The new API format was included in today's tech newsletter.
Thanks, Jan, for bringing it up :)
