JSON changes without transition not listed as breaking #152

Closed mbrancato closed 3 months ago

mbrancato commented 3 months ago

The JSON changes (specifically in Python, but possibly others) listed from v25.3 -> v.26 contain breaking changes but are not listed as such.

https://github.com/protocolbuffers/protocolbuffers.github.io/blob/08e0937a883848b800a8529a295997145604a772/content/news/v26.md?plain=1#L24-L25

This was not available in the immediately preceding version and will create runtime errors.

Thanks for submitting this issue.

I think the reason you might not have seen it is that the breaking change was mentioned under "General Changes" rather than in "Python Breaking Changes": "[Python] Remove the deprecated always_print_primitive_fields option from Java, Python and C++ JSON parsers. (06e7cab)"
