No, not new. I think the environment conditions have changed a bit, though, javac used to be able to respect the :target specification under all circumstances but it now it can't compile 1.7 source and target 1.6 without explicitly stating it.
In other words, what's new is that people are now using JDK 1.7. I'll fix the documentation.
