The materials/dhcpagent.1m.diff file describes the changes.

The main issue is that, unlike v4, v6 manages multiple addresses with
a single "session."  Thus, when we do an "EXTEND," there may be some
addresses added by the server, and some removed.  With "EXPIRE," there
may still be addresses present.

The DROP and RELEASE events refer to the session.

(Yes, I should probably make these things clearer in the draft man
page.)
