This is exactly what happened moving from API 0.4 to API 0.5: a heavy data structure change. OSM is still a fairly young project, so sometimes a major model change may happen, just as last autumn. It would be nearly impossible to provide a backward-compatible interface, because some elements have been dropped (segments) and some other have been adopted (relations).
