Hello,
it may be true the change was announced long time before, but me
personally also did not notice and was quite surprised. If there is such
a big compatibility change I would expoect major version number change
(3.0) not a minor (2.4) which evokes some higher progress but not the
configuration compatibility change.
I would also expect on such change if the software accepts also old
config for some time and logs about deprecated config. Just to get
prepared. I accept there could be reasons which did not allow authors to
do it like that.

Every major release or point release always comes with a Release
Announcement and if there are any breaking changes, they are always
listed.
Your expectations as stated are personal. The developers just do their
thing as always.
Before any upgrade/update, always refer to the Release Announcement!
