It's a judgement call, but we have always had new features and minor
API changes in the point releases.  Except on the 0.91 maintenance
branch, which is only bugfix, we have continuously added   new stuff
on every release.  When the breakage is likely to be difficult, or the
new feature really significant, we will push the major version.  I
don't think these changes are so significant that they require waiting
until a new major version number, but you may want to consider issuing
a warning in addition to the requisite explanation in the docstring
and CHANGELOG.
