I just upgraded the official Arch Linux AUR setup to 1.9.0. For a short list of changes, read [1]. All AUR helper developers are encouraged to check for the latest RPC interface changes and the new package locations (we use segmented upload directories now). We also recommend to use the "URLPath" field from the RPC response instead of hardcoding the path to the PKGBUILD and tarball. For now, there's a rewrite rule to avoid unnecessary breakage of AUR helpers and legacy links. Please report any issues on the AUR bug tracker [2].
