Facebook API 2.6 Page Like Count

With the recent release of 2.6 I'm now getting a list of page likes when I hit the endpoint of "/facebook?fields=likes,id,name" where in 2.5 and before it would be a count. I'm not seeing any documentation of this change and I don't know how to get a count of likes anymore.

If I just count the list of likes it doesn't seem to be matching up to the number of likes the page actually has when I look at it directly on Facebook.

Has anyone come across this yet?

v2.6 of the Graph API moved some things around to keeps their likes consistent across object types. You can use fan_count as the new likes counter.

Don't forget to include fan_count in your fields request.

Yeah, i know... Facebook really loves backwards compatility... cough
