That's why we have snapshots. The main purpose of a release is to

Are there published some rules, what breakage is acceptable, what
not etc. ?
No, it's fairly subjective.
Is it sufficient to only publish it in User_Changes_Trunk or there
must be simple way (switch or something) how to restore old behavior ?
You always have to describe how existing code can be made to work in
the new situation. Whether this is by using a switch, changing the
code or something else depends on the nature of the change.
