Web API type change

We have some code which uses the Web API limelm.pkey.getDetails. The version_id value appears to have changed sometime in the last few weeks (sometime after 5/24): it was being returned as a string, but is now being returned as a number, which broke our parser.

Is there a mailing/announcement list which warns API users of upcoming changes of this kind?

No, there isnt a list for minor changes. We wouldnt consider this a breaking change. Dont make your parser too strict. Basically dont deserialize to memory.

If youre using an XML parser youll see no change. JSON is a different flakier beast.

Whatever change was made last month was definitely a breaking change for me!! I am getting "An API key must be used by a single device" all over. Just noticing now that many customers have not gotten their licenses created after paying. This is a real headache.
