It could be, but it is a major change.
It should be documented.
I believe it affects all posix path.
Now, if an app or osax accepts posix path then one needs to send a string instead of an alias.
I just checked and System Events also accepts a string where the dictionary requires an alias.
set l to "/Users/deivy/Desktop/reaching.txt"
try
tell application "System Events" to open l
on error e
return e
end try
-- Events---
tell application "System Events"
open "/Users/deivy/Desktop/reaching.txt"
--> missing value
--> error number 0
end tell
Result:
missing value
the error message on the screen
System Events dictionary says it needs an alias...
open v : Open an object.
open alias : The file(s) to be opened.
