==== Removed external libraries ====
deprecated in 1.25, has been removed.
* (T60993) action=query list=filearchive, list=alldeletedrevisions and
prop=deletedrevisions no longer require the 'deletedhistory' user right.
+* In the response to queries that use 'prop=imageinfo', entries for
+ non-existing files (indicated by the 'filemissing' field) now omit the
+ following fields, since they are meaningless in this context:
+ 'timestamp', 'userhidden', 'user', 'userid', 'anon', 'size', 'width',
+ 'height', 'pagecount', 'duration', 'commenthidden', 'parsedcomment',
+ 'comment', 'thumburl', 'thumbwidth', 'thumbheight', 'thumbmime',
+ 'thumberror', 'url', 'sha1', 'metadata', 'extmetadata', 'commonmetadata',
+ 'mime', 'mediadtype', 'bitdepth'.
+ Clients that process these fields should first check if 'filemissing' is
+ set. Fields that are supported even if the file is missing include:
+ 'canonicaltitle', ''archivename' (deleted files only), 'descriptionurl',
+ 'descriptionshorturl'.
+* The 'blockexpiry' result property in list=users and list=allusers will now be
+ returned in the same format used by the rest of the API: ISO 8601 for
+ expiring blocks, and "infinite" for non-expiring blocks.
