Special page hooks stop working for Recentchanges page

Description:
After upgrading to MediaWiki 1.13.2 I've noticed, that TransformChanges extension has stopped working. I've looked into code and noticed, that it uses SpecialPageExecuteAfterPage hook to modify recent changes list. As I understand as of 1.13 version recent changes stuff was rewritten and SpecialRecentChanges::execute method is no longer calling SpecialPageExecuteAfterPage, SpecialPageExecuteBeforeHeader and SpecialPageExecuteBeforePage hooks. I've fixed it locally by adding appropriate code from SpecialPage::execute method into SpecialRecentChanges::execute method and it helped. Please fix this as soon as possible, because other TransformChanges extension users also expirience same problem, but have no idea, how to fix it.

Hooks removed in r42015. The extension needs to be changed.

Closed as INVALID, this extension isn't maintained in svn. Left a note, however, to the extension's talk page.

I see, that all mentioned hooks were removed at all. Any idea, how extensions should modify special page output? Maybe some other hooks added? If you plan to remove hooks this way, then without proper core class extension feature many of extensions will be dead. I'm really missing ability to replace any core class with my own, that extends original one.
