Unfortunately it pretty much goes in the same way, being it a feature 
1-month old or 6-years. 
We - maintainers - can't foresee the usage in your app of undocumented 
features and can't mention every commit in a CHANGELOG that  is not a 
bugfix, because from "our side", nobody raised an hand for it. 
We encourage everyone to contribute with tests because our life would be 
far easier: we'd propose a change being sure that nothing breaks.
This specific case is even worse, because the change came from a bug 
<https://code.google.com/p/web2py/issues/detail?id=2024> and it got treated 
as one: no way we could have even considered to put it in the CHANGELOG. 
So, I humble bow before you and this "breakage" but - unfortunately - 
that's not going to save you, or anybody else in your situation, from being 
stinged a taddle bit after an upgrade.
