Details at #1427848: Node taxonomy array key change on node_save, specifically the explanation in this comment: http://drupal.org/node/1427848#comment-5632536

Quick summary: contrib modules may be broken by 6.24. However, if they are, it's because they were more quietly broken all along.

This should perhaps be mentioned and linked to in the 6.24 release notes. Also, should we have a change notice for this?

There still is no notice about this. This is bad.

I'm abusing the priority to see if anyone will notice this quick fix issue (sorry). Although it technically is critical if peoples sites break as a result.

However, if they are, it's because they were more quietly broken all along.

This is not really the point, changes that have the potential to break masses of sites should be mentioned in the release notes. Even if they are fixing what was technically a bug (an undocumented bug that people don't necessarily know about to write the correct work arounds into their code) to begin with.

Oh. we had API changes. Eh, we have somehow get those into 6.28. Not sure how we could fix that we one point-release ago had a API change that could break stuff for module...

If it is mentioned on the 6.24 release page it would at least help.

If you are updating from 6.22 to 6.28 you really should be reading the release notes for each release that you are updating through.
