Unless called out as a new function or as explicit changes, I would expect a function that exists in 1.2.6 and 1.3.0 to behave the same. Now that I know it accepts old arguments I don't think it's a breaking change.
My point is less about whether this is right or wrong. I'm just providing a data point that greater than zero library developers find this difference between minor versions is confusing and not well documented.
