The only difference is the warning message now written to stderr. Previously the problem would go by unnoticed. If it somehow worked before, it still works now (despite a warning), and if it didn't work before, it still doesn't. The warning pops up in the following situation: some optional module loading is attempted by amavisd. If it doesn't exist, nothing happens, it just does not get loaded. But if it does exist, but during its loading some error occurs, then you receive a warning on stderr during amavisd startup. The Convert::BinHex module is only used by MIME-Tools module when it encounters a Mac binhex-encoded part. It is likely that your site never received such attachment, and even if it did, you probably didn't notice a MIME warning about nondecodable part. I wonder how common such situations arise and whether it would be better not to issue a warning as before and avoid bewildering people.
