Decreasing prio because compat is a deprecated branch.

API changes in 1.28:

  • The following response properties from action=login, deprecated in 1.27, are now removed: lgtoken, cookieprefix, sessionid. Clients should handle cookies to properly manage session state.
  • Submitting the lgtoken and lgpassword parameters in the query string to action=login is now deprecated and outputs a warning. They should be submitted in the POST body instead.

(imho: better one merge to the core branch instead of investigating into this stuff)

Declined due to decommission compat
