glob behaviour changed in 8.4, documented?

[glob] changed behaviour between tcl 8.3.x and 8.4.x (?) on
non-Unix-system when it comes to files starting with a dot:
- on Unix,
glob *
does not return files starting with a dot
- on other systems, it does return files starting with a dot

This is documented in the manpage, but not in the ChangeLog (at least
I did not find anything in the ChangeLog* in tcl 8.5.2).

I would have expected a "POTENTIAL INCOMPATIBLITY" marker in the
ChangeLog for this change.

Is it too late to add such a marker, or would a tracker-item be
justified here?
