The merged changeset included changes which were not advertised,
causing pywikibot to break. See T110559
The wbgetentities JSON 'entities' is now an array/list of entities
instead of a mapping/dictionary of 'Qd' => entity.

Hi all!
We have some breaking API changes that will soon be deployed to
wikidata.org.
The deployment date should be: 9th September 2015 (just under 2 weeks)
The change making the breaks an be found at:
https://gerrit.wikimedia.org/r/#/c/227686/
The breaking changes are:
- XML output aliases are now grouped by language
- XML output may no longer give elements when they are empty
- XML any claim, qualifier, reference or snak elements that had an
'_idx' element will no longer have it
- ALL output may now give empty elements, ie. labels when an entity has none
If you want to see a wikipage explaining these changes take a look at:
