qgis/connections-xyz VS connections/xyz/items

[Ojaybee]

Some users run the script but do not see the xyz connecitons in the browser even after restarting QGIS. I have found that this does not happen if connections/xyz/items is used as the connection path rather than qgis/connections-xyz. Has there been a update in more recent versions of QGIS in the connections paths?

I'm unable to recreate this on my Windows 11 machine with the following 2 installs of QGIS:
QGIS version | 3.34.8-Prizren
QGIS code revision | 91642333
Qt version | 5.15.13
Python version | 3.12.4

and:

QGIS version | 3.28.11-Firenze
QGIS code revision | b02458a196
Qt version | 5.15.3
Python version | 3.9.5
