It is not a regression, as per-Document boost were never working correctly. If you want to boost documents in a consistent way (and make their scores in search results really using that factor), you should index a DocValues field and use that in a CustomScoreQuery to boost the results with that docvalues field. In Lucene 4.0 (together with other changes) we dropped the "old-style", confusing, and incorrect feature.
