The ever changing API

I just played a game after several months' hiatus and discovered labels all over the StreetView. Well, where's the challenge in that? Thanks, Google! So after poking in the API for a few minutes, I found a StreetView panoramaOption called showRoadLabels. Easy to fix, but it makes me wonder if I am going to have to play MapTag for the rest of my life to check on API changes.
