New m3api-oauth2 release! (m3api-oauth2 is still an m3api extension package to authenticate users using OAuth 2.)
This just declares compatibility with the newly released m3api-rest v0.2.0, nothing special

New m3api-rest release! (m3api-rest is still an m3api extension package to use the MediaWiki REST API.)
THIS is what this has all been building up to! m3api-rest now supports the following:
• request methods: GET, POST, PUT, DELETE, PATCH
• request body content types: JSON, URLSearchParams, FormData
• response body content types: JSON, (plain) text, HTML
resulting in 17 instead of 4 exported functions, a 325% increase!! :D

New m3api-oauth2 release! (m3api-oauth2 is an m3api extension package to authenticate users using OAuth 2.)
This likewise updates the library to work with latest m3api, and also introduces a new HTTP-level error handler, to handle the fact that Wikimedia infrastructure now responds differently to requests with expired access tokens, which broke our previous automatic refresh functionality 😔

New m3api-rest release! (m3api-rest is an m3api extension package to use the MediaWiki REST API.)
From an external point of view, this is just a patch version bump to make the library compatible with the latest m3api. (Internally, this of course meant quite a few changes, as the m3api maintainer changed the whole network interface this library was using, that thoughtless prick.) The promised new features will come a bit later 
https://gitlab.wikimedia.org/repos/m3api/m3api-rest/-/releases/v0.1.1
New m3api release! (m3api is a JavaScript library to use the MediaWiki Action API.)
This version overhauls the internal network interface, which will unlock many new features in the m3api-rest extension package, and introduces a new internal option that will allow m3api-oauth2 to fix an issue with automatic retrying of requests with expired access tokens. (Stay tuned for new releases of those packages in the coming hours 
)
https://gitlab.wikimedia.org/repos/m3api/m3api/-/releases/v1.1.0
new #m3api release! (m3api is a JavaScript library to use the MediaWiki action API :3)
just two changes:
• a minor change to the handling of responses with Retry-After headers which should hopefully be useful especially when targeting Wikimedia wikis
• a new declaration that changing the supported Node.js versions is not considered a breaking change (and what to do if you need support for a specific Node.js version)

unfinished thought: it would be quite good to have something like the Toolforge Abandoned Tool policy (https://wikitech.wikimedia.org/wiki/Help:Toolforge/Abandoned_tool_policy) for non-tool Wikimedia code, such as libraries (e.g. #m3api) or applications (e.g. Pattypan?)
this could be a step towards “Off-the-shelf governance models for small FOSS projects” (@pintoch, https://antonin.delpeuch.eu/posts/off-the-shelf-governance-models-for-small-foss-projects/) – if a codebase opts into it (README.md?), there would be an established process for adopting it if the maintainer goes inactive
and, after some CI troubles (https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T414864), m3api-oauth2 v1.0.3 is out, now using the new m3api-rest package (see above) internally! \o/
https://gitlab.wikimedia.org/repos/m3api/m3api-oauth2/-/releases/v1.0.3
to kick off the new year, here’s a new m3api extension package! m3api-rest lets you make some requests to the MediaWiki REST API :)
it’s only v0.1.0 and it’s quite limited, so probably you shouldn’t look at it too closely yet ;) more powerful versions should come soonish and then it’ll be more useful, with support for more request methods and request+response content types ^^

I’m planning to create a library that makes it easier to use the MediaWiki REST API from applications which already use m3api to interact with the Action API; input welcome here, as I’m not actually very familiar with the REST API: https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T411325
