I haven't noticed any change in behavior.

Are these compilation albums or non-compilations?  Generally speaking,
you don't want an ALBUMARTIST tag on compilations.  Specifying an
ALBUMARTIST is in effect saying that "this album belongs to XXX".

In the web interface, if you click on an album you should see an album
listing page (album information at top, track listing below).  A
compilation album should show

Compilation: Yes

in the info.

That's always worked like this.  The only thing you can control is to
suppress the track artists on compilations from the artist list by
grouping compilations in the preferences.  The compilation albums have
always appeared among the artist's albums.

BUT: Currently you _cannot_ suppress track artists on
non-compilations.

So if you're doing something that is causing compilation albums to be
considered non-compilations, you should correct this.  A lot of people
use the COMPILATION tag on _every_ single track in their library to
explicitly tell SqueezeCenter whether or not an album is a compilation.
Takes a lot of the guess work out of it.

I believe that's been requested.

If there's been any change in behavior, it might be that the
ALBUMARTIST tag now keeps these albums from being flagged as
compilations.  This could lead to the behavior that you're seeing.
