Did the CREST AllianceCollection output change?

The current format of a collection entry is
{
"href": {
"id_str": "99000006",
"shortName": "666",
"href": "https://public-crest.eveonline.com/alliances/99000006/",
"id": 99000006,
"name": "Everto Rex Regis"
}
},

which wraps the entry in an additional object on a href property, compared to other collections. I'm pretty sure it used to be

{
"id_str": "99000006",
"shortName": "666",
"href": "https://public-crest.eveonline.com/alliances/99000006/",
"id": 99000006,
"name": "Everto Rex Regis"
},

I'm almost certain this has changed, but the resource version has remained the same. Can anyone confirm?

Make sure you manually try downloading the data as well and it's not a side effect of something on your end. If it does seem to be coming directly from CCP that way I'd bug report that one as I'm sure someone has broke something if all the ones you are seeing look that way.

I'm just looking at the json returned here https://public-crest.eveonline.com/alliances/
I just want to make sure it's actually been changed before reporting

It hasn't changed, my code is still working and has it being in a href the whole time.

The content type header doesn't indicate there have been any version changes either.

Regardless of whether it changed or not, it does seem weird that they're wrapped into a seemingly arbitrary href object, especially since that doesn't seem to be the case in any other collection I recently checked.

Yeah, it has broken EveLib, and I'm pretty sure my implementation was working when I wrote it 5 months ago. Now I'm forced to customize the parser for this one, which is pretty annoying.
