Minecraft 1.9 Data Tags changed?
Ok so I have this command here:
/summon Item ~ ~1 ~ {Item:{id:spawn_egg,Damage:65,Count:32,tag:{display:{Name:"Destruction Pellet",Lore:["Place this item in a dispenser and power","to destroy the block infront"]}}}}
What it does is summon 32 bat Spawneggs with the name Destruction Pellet. This command works a treat in any 1.8 version (specifically 1.8.0, since that what I use), but when I upgrade to a Minecraft 1.9 snapshot (15w51b) this command now only summons empty spawneggs, as if the Damage isn't even there.
So I was wondering if the format/order of Data Tags has changed in the most recent snapshot, or weather this is a bug and it needs to be sumbitted to the Minecraft Bug Tracker.

First minor issue is that you have unbalanced quotation marks:
["Place this item in a dispenser and power","to destroy the block infront ]
Need to end the string here ^
As of 1.9, you need to specify data about the entity, including its type, inside of an EntityTag compound tag, like this:
/summon Item ~ ~1 ~ {Item:{id:spawn_egg,Count:32,tag:{EntityTag:{id:"Bat"},display:{Name:"Destruction Pellet",Lore:["Place this item in a dispenser and power","to destroy the block infront"]}}}}

You need to use the {EntityTag:{id:"Bat"}} they indeed changed that. And btw the damagevalue needs to be 0 for this to work so the command will be /summon Item ~ ~ ~ {Item:{id:"minecraft:spawn_egg",Count:32b,tag:{display:{Name:"Destuction Pellet"},EntityTag:{id:"Bat"}}}c
