The normal practice is to mark the related Jira issue(s) with a 'breaking' label. We sometimes don't do that if the previous behavior was deemed a bug. In any case, I have marked both the relevant issues with the label now. I also updated the release notes to list those two issues under breaking changes; they should appear next time the website is re-built.
