Yes, I should have noted that in the release notes. Sorry.

(It could be argued that I shouldn't have made any silent changes that break
existing code, and I'd prefer not to do that in the future, but a) The toolbox
modules were only semi-official before and b) this was the last opportunity to
make a change for consistency).

Same thing happened to CatInfo in Mac::Files, and basically to ALL records
in toolbox interfaces. Also, I got rid of MacControlWindow, which was a
terrible design idea.
