The new API introduced a small behavior change where empty string values written or stored in a char/text field were replaced by False (i.e. as if they were NULL). This was done to mimic the web client behavior, but introduces a very surprising effect: a.name = ""; assert a.name == ""; would fail. It would also require many more tests in the code when reading existing required values from the database, as they could still be False when an empty string value had previously been stored, for some reason.
