13:42 legoktm: chrismcmahon: yes there was an announcement
13:43 legoktm: nothing is broken though
13:43 legoktm: chrismcmahon: https://lists.wikimedia.org/pipermail/mediawiki-api-announce/2014-August/000067.html
13:43 chrismcmahon: thanks legoktm that's ummm annoying
13:43 legoktm: why?
13:45 chrismcmahon: I've never heard of Mediawiki-api-announce before, oh well.
13:45 legoktm: there's also mediawiki-api too
13:45 chrismcmahon: nor suspected that I should subscribe to it had I known it existed. anyway, I can fix the issue
13:46 legoktm: the list is listed at https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/API:Main_page#Useful_links, please add links to it in other places too :)

First things first, the API client should be refactored to not fail upon a deprecation warning. We can then look into how to best implement the new meta=tokens query (and what condition to switch on; AFAICT, the API endpoint is not versioned).
