Latest Shopify Api Update broke my shipping software!

as of April 1st we who use shipping software need to update to the latest shopify API.  I did so on Thursday afternoon and Friday was a real disaster. 

The products used to export from shopify like this with the name and the variants listed in  separate sections:

<Item ID="1354939013">
<Name>Universal Solid LEDs for transformers</Name>

<Option ID="1490622020">
<Name>Variant</Name>
<Description>Size: 3mm / Color: Warm White / Wire Length: 8 inch</Description>

 

And now after the update they export all on one line:

 

<Item ID="1396953013">
<Name>Universal Solid LEDs for transformers - Size: 3mm / Color: Warm White / Wire Length: 8 inch</Name>

 

Our shipworks code is constantly grabbing information from (name=”Variant”) to display the customer’s selections on our invoices, and product labels, and now the section named “Variant” no longer exists in the XML export.

 

I am trying to hire a coder to help find the new attributes after the "-" on very short notice, before Monday!  Or we will be unable to ship orders until the work around is found!
