This seems to have changed between 3.19.4 and 3.20.0. Is this an intentional backward incompatibility? If so, is there a required client library upgrade to version 3.20.0 now?

What version of protobuf and what language are you using?
Version: main/v3.6.0/v3.5.0 etc.
Language: Python

What operating system (Linux, Windows, ...) and version?
Linux

What runtime / compiler are you using (e.g., python version or gcc version)
3.20.0

What did you do?
Steps to reproduce the behavior:

1. Use an older client library like 3.15.5.
2. See error in title

What did you expect to see
No error

What did you see instead?
Title error

"Use an older client library like 3.15.5." We only guarantee old generated code work with new runtime, but new version of generated code may not work with old runtime.

Use 3.20 version of protoc with 3.15 runtime is not what we generated

"If so, is there a required client library upgrade to version 3.20.0 now?"
Yes, if you decide to use 3.20 protoc
