Unofficial, meaning documented but not from Oracle. My point is that it has
been a widely publicized change regardless of the fact that it may not show up
in oracle docs.

As far as I'm aware, it was done to support case sensitive passwords.
If it wasn't officially documented by Oracle, it's been unofficially

42 to answer any question. As for the case sensitive passwords, it doesn't
