+* $wgAPIModules (and the related $wgAPIFormatModules, $wgAPIMetaModules,
+  $wgAPIPropModules, and $wgAPIListModules settings) now allow API modules
+  to be specified using a "module spec" array instead of a plain class name.
+  A "module spec" is an associative array containing at least the 'class' key
+  for the module's class, and optionally a 'factory' key for the factory function
+  to use for the module. This is intended for extensions that want control over
+  the instantiation of their API modules, to allow for proper dependency
+  injection.
