Google map v3 API change today?

My map redraws seem to be failing because (at the least) I have been dynamically setting the center via 

var currCenter = gmap.getCenter();

Then:

var mapOptions = {
    center: new google.maps.LatLng(currCenter.ob, currCenter.pb),
    zoom: currZoom,
    mapTypeId: google.maps.MapTypeId.ROADMAP
};

Appears currCenter.ob is suddenly undefined this morning. It now looks like it's pb & qb instead of ob & pb. I'm in the process of trying to fix the code, is there anything else anyone knows of that was changed?

EDIT: They're undocumented API fields I shouldn't be using, nevermind I fixed it with the info below. Thanks.

The problem is that Api Google maps constantly changing this values (ob, .pb) to Latitude and Longitude, you must use lat() and lng() functions to have a stable version

var mapOptions = {
center: new google.maps.LatLng(currCenter.lat(), currCenter.lng()),
zoom: currZoom,
mapTypeId: google.maps.MapTypeId.ROADMAP

};

greetings!

Rewrote them as .lng() and .lat() instead of .ob, .pb, .qp. I believe that these members should be more stable if you still want to use unofficial member names.

To answer you question. YES. Google Maps API did changed last night. I was doing the same thing you did (calling .ob and .pb), but found that I had to change them to .pb and .qb in my code respectively in order to get the Lat and Long.

I am assuming gmap is a google map object. If that is the case, then getCenter already returns a LatLng object, so creating a new object via

new google.maps.LatLng()

Is somewhat useless, you could simply use currCenter directly.
