Yes, it's due to the changes to support "pretty" messages. It should
have been mentioned in the stuff I sent Anne (of which I don't have a
copy any more), but "-p" is needed for "pretty" messages of class
"message". ("Pretty" is still the default for non-"message" classes
such as "filsrv", otherwise we'd lose big.)
It is debatable which way it should default for class "message".
Although experienced users will notice a change and may want to use
"-p" always anyways, the surprise/confusion factor for new users
should be less if @-strings (such as in Scribe text) don't simply
disappear.
I haven't seen the release notes; if it isn't mentioned as a prominent
change in Zephyr, it should be.
