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.
